<p>And my interviewer is a partner of this big law firm and the interview is at her office. The problem is that to make the interview on time I'd be coming straight from school and then going back to school afterwards for rehearsals. I was planning on wearing jeans (nice jeans) and a nice dress shirt with maybe a sweater over it. Do you guys think I'd be a little under dressed for the setting or would my wearing jeans be ok for the law office. There's no uniform at my school and I'm not (well i hadn't thought about) wearing khakis or slacks all day in school just for an interview.</p>
<p>Do you guys think i need to consider wearing the slacks, or will the jeans be sufficient?</p>
<p>I think you should just keep a pair of slacks in your car (or locker) and change right after school before get there. I'm sure jeans won't be a big deal, but you never know. </p>
<p>yea so my dads a lawyer and i told him i was gonna where jeans and that they were nice...he looked at me like i was crazy...so I've decided to wear something nicer :-D lol...I'll tell you guys how it went</p>
<p>Sorry I went away for a tournament. Any way my interview was GREAT! :-D! Apparently my interviewer knew my dad and they went to law school together. The first thing she asked was "is ______ your father?" Then we discovered that I coached her son at a soccer camp a couple of years back and now he plays for a travel team so that was pretty cool. And she also took classes with one of the professors that I want to study under. I don't think there was a more perfect interviewer for me lol. She did ask standard questions (about my ecs, and about my school, scores, grades, etc etc.) but most of the time we talked about the ethics of law, manchester united, brands of guitars, and the best animation movies of all time. It lasted close to 2 hrs and at the end she said "I'm going to have to do every thing in my power to get you to Cambridge in the fall. If they don't accept you, and I don't see why they wouldn't, then I might have to convince the firm to give a donation." She was joking obviously, but it was pretty cool that she said it. And it's good to know that she really liked me. Too bad interviews don't count lol...</p>
<p>Interviews do count. Harvard wouldn't have thousands of its busy alums wasting hours of their time.</p>
<p>The way, however, that interviews count is that it's far more likely for a bad interview to tip out an otherwise good applicant than to tip in a weak applicant. As Harvard's admissions dean says, interviews can't raise the dead.</p>
