<p>i know there must be a few threads about this but...
will nice jeans with no holes and a nice shirt be ok? i wore a suit for my other interview at a business consulting firm but my penn interview is at a starbucks so i was thinking nice dark jeans ?? my interviewer is really young, class of '03 or '04 i think.... thanks</p>
<p>A full suit always look great and shows maturity and seriousness. But it's really up to you. If you apply to Wharton, go with full professional attire.</p>
<p>I disagree. I think a fullsuit would show that you're confused and are overcompensating.</p>
<p>Go with dark jeans, a collared shirt and a jacket. If you're interviewer is dressed more casual than you, take the jacket off.</p>
<p>definitely go with the jeans...the interviewer is expecting a HSer. There is nothing worse than a kid who thinks he's already a friggin business mogul. I'd say go for dark jeans, nice polo shirt or whatever, and a nice sweater, that's it.</p>
<p>Comments like AY888's are excruciating to read.</p>
<p>You are not applying for your job yet, and this idea that Wharton expects professionalism at all ends for a high school student not yet in college is completely inaccurate.</p>
<p>Starbucks interviews do not necessitate a suit.</p>
<p>Didn't you just agree completely with chocoman?</p>
<p>As megaman123 suggested, go with something mature but nice. Possibly wear a polo or something with a dress pants or ironed jeans. Just dress appropriate. Starbucks is relatively casual. But, dress slacks might show you're serious without going off the deep end (like a suit would show).</p>
<p>i wore nice khakis and a polo at starbucks for my interview. my interview was wearing jeans or khakis i blieve</p>
<p>The jeans, sweater with collar popping out look is also really good. Very erudite and collegiate without being pretentious.</p>
<p>I went in a dinner jacket. Got my Frappuccino shaken, not stirred (made a friggin mess). Talk about overdressed.</p>
<p>No way does wearing a full suit to a college interview make you look anything except unnatural and too-polished.</p>
<p>My interviewer specifically told me not to wear anything too fancy and that it would be a casual interview. I believe I went with the sweater collared shirt combo with dark jeans and a pair of dress shoes.</p>
<p>I would recommend a tux, real bow tie (NOT clip-on) and matching pocket square. Sure to impress and get you an acceptance.</p>
<p>I think bonus points if you study some 17th century formalwear and come in proper Quaker attire</p>
<p>Or you can be a risk taker and go without clothes at all...that'll be sure to impress your interviewer and transmit your enthusiasm.</p>
<p>I love the UPenn forum.</p>
<p>Smart-a$$es at their best.</p>
<p>emphasis on the $$$ signs.</p>
<p>Until we switch to €€€ signs.</p>
<p>If you go without clothes, be sure to paint a giant Penn P on your chest. Bonus points if you tattoo it.</p>
<p>Don't forget the dollar-sign earrings. They're extremely important for any Wharton applicant.</p>
<p>...really, just wear something nice but resembling a high school student. Don't make the interviewer uncomfortable.</p>
<p>three cheers for smart-a$$es...I would have said 4 but I don't come off as obnoxious....lol....</p>
<p>oh thats not fair ilovebagels...i don't have the euro symbols on my keyboard.
I guess i'm woefully antiquated</p>
