<p>My interview is in a few weeks, and I'm not sure what to wear. Should I dress formally? Please help!!</p>
<p>dress casually, but nothing like abercrombie and fitch. the interviewer will usually want a relaxed conversation. they want to get to know you, not your suit.</p>
<p>thanks:D
does anyone know what type of questions the interview asks?</p>
<p>What book you're reading, what your friends would say about you, what your family thinks about boarding school, why you want to go there, what you don't like about your current school, etc.</p>
<p>They'll ask you about your academics, what clubs your involved in, why you want to get into Andover, your hobbies, and how your family will deal with you going to boarding school. Be prepared to answer questions like who your hero is and what you could do if you could fix one thing in the world</p>

This is true at many schools, but remember where you're interviewing. If the school has a formal dresscode, formal attire is appropriate. Dress at least as well as the students at the school you're interviewing at.
I was a tourguide at my school, and about 90% of the applicants I met wore a jacket and tie (or conformed to the female dress code).</p>
<p>I wore a skirt and nice sweater. nothing too formal, but nice looking.</p>
<p>Make sure that you r classy. Even if u r really tempted to wear that adorable but extremely tight abercrombie polo DONT. Wear something more mature and try to dress atleast as well as the dress code (but you dont have to go ball gown haha). Even if you end up way over dressed the interviewers will appreciate the effort</p>
<p>don't push the limit, I say. I went in a nice sweater and some clean jeans, that's it. The sweater was from PacSun, but it was relaxed and semiformal. My interviewer and I had a great time and it went extremely well. I'm pretty sure that if I had worn a skirt and blouse it would have been a lot less relaxed and more tense.</p>
<p>I disagree with hotchkissjin - do NOT wear jeans.</p>
<p>i agree with creative. a lot of the schools i had an interview at specifically asked me not to wear jeans.</p>
<p>The general rule is to dress to the dress code of the school.<br>
At schools where it was casual/no dress code, my son wore nice pants, shirt and tie. With a formal dress code, he wore a suit.<br>
For girls at the formal schools most of them we saw in the admissions waiting room in skirts and sweaters. Or nice pants and a sweater.<br>
I would NEVER recommend wearing jeans. Many of the schools specifically do not allow their students to wear jeans to classes, so wearing them to an interview is not appropriate. You do not have to wear a skirt if you are not comfortable in one, but nice pants is a much better choice.</p>
<p>I plan on wearing chords and one of those j. crew sweaters.</p>
<p>I think kids should dress as nicely and as neatly as possible. You should look like you care. You certainly don't have to go out and buy a designer suit, but chances are you would feel better about everything if you were well (but comfortably) dressed. I think it does make a difference.</p>
<p>i was told by my parents that being over dressed is better than being under dressed. lean on the side of being more formal and you will be fine. be too casual and it is not good.</p>
<p>That was exactly our philosphy nhfootballer. No one will fault you for being overdressed. Being underdressed however, MAY look like you don't care.</p>
<p>I once saw a kid touring wearing a tux.- Boys should wear coats and ties, and girls nice pants or a skirt and a sweater/button down shirt.</p>
