<p>So, I got a mail last evening from an alumni to schedule an interview. I mailed him back and for some bizarre reason I spelled alumni wrong. TWICE. 'Alumini'.
How negatively does it reflect?
Also, the interview is at the alum's house. Should I take flowers or something? And what should I wear? Jeans, shirt and a jacket or something more formal?</p>
<p>What a dastardly deed. Hope you’ve moved on already; your chances at Dartmouth are SHOT.</p>
<p>Lol, Monstor. No, your chances are not shot. All you have to do is bring a smile, decently looking clothes (khakis and a collared t-shirt?) and your own self and I am sure you can change any misconceptions that the interviewer may have about you after reading the email, which is really probably none.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, he probably didn’t even notice.
Don’t take flowers, you’re on an interview, not a date.
I recommend dark blue jeans and a black collared-shirt with the sleeves rolled up to your elbows and a pair of clean converse [that is, if you are a guy]
Good luck :)</p>
<p>Flowers? No. It’s not a social call. *Now if you get in, then maybe flowers would be in order.<a href=“Not%20that%20the%20interview%20will%20make%20or%20break%20you%20–%20it’s%20just%20an%20appreciation%20thing.%20%20I%20still%20get%20XMas%20cards%20from%20one%20student%20I%20interviewed%20that%20got%20in”>/I</a></p>
<p>Oh my goodness, don’t bring flowers o.O</p>
<p>Okay guys.
Thanks.
I get that.
NO FLOWERS!
I’ll wear a semi formal thing I guess. And hope for the best.</p>
<p>Tell him that you actually know how to spell alumni. Haha…it could break the ice.</p>
<p>^Very good. 
Tbh, I would give that suggestion some thought.
But then, I wouldn’t want to unecessarily draw attention to that fact, so it’s your call.</p>
