<p>I do not know what to wear for my interview at Rice, and it is a week from today! Please help me, this will be my first interview and I am quite frightened. What would be the proper attire for a female to wear?</p>
<p>Whatever’s comfortable. I mean, I’d recommend against going full-on sweatpants or something, but the interview is meant to be casual.</p>
<p>What would you recommend for me to wear? I must say that I am not a big fan of dresses and heels.</p>
<p>Dress casual, but not jeans and a hoodie casual. I’m a boy, and I wore some casual dockers and a button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up. I felt like I was dressed appropriately and was probably dressed nicer than my interviewer</p>
<p>Male here. I didn’t interview for Rice but for Harvard, Yale, etc I went with khakis, a nice shirt, and a tie. I would try to dress similarly (for the female side of course). Dress isn’t a huge deal as long as you present yourself well, but if you dress a bit on the nicer side it won’t hurt at all–rather, you might actually impress your interviewer a bit. Once again, though, it’s really not a big deal at all as long as you aren’t too under- or over-dressed.</p>
<p>If you don’t like dresses and heels, it’s perfectly fine not to wear a dress or heels.</p>
<p>If you dress the way your younger female teachers dress for work, you will probably be OK. Unless they wear flip-flops to work; if they wear flip-flops, just don’t even tell me!</p>
<p>There’s a wide range of clothing that your interviewer will forget about completely once the interview is over. This is your target. After all, this interview is intended to be about the person you are, and not the clothes in your closet. Jeans and a hoodie would be memorably too casual. The dress you bought for homecoming would be memorably too dressy. A suit would be too dressy if your interview is in the cafe at a Barnes & Noble, but not necessarily if your interview will take place in the offices of a downtown law firm. Most of the students I have interviewed have worn something on the level of Dockers and a button-down shirt.</p>
<p>Dark dress pants, nice shirt/blouse and sweater.</p>
<p>Plain skirt, blouse and sweater</p>
<p>Closed shoes. No need for high heels, flats are fine.
No need for pearls or any jewelry.
Turn off you cell phone once you have found your interviewer.</p>
<p>both my kids wore tshirt like things and comfortable pants. Both were accepted and attended and loved Rice. Cleanmismgood, everything else is irrelevant.</p>
