THE interview.

<p>All right, so I've got my Columbia interview set up already, and I just have some nitpicky questions.</p>

<p>I've been to a couple different sites with tips for college interviews, but I'm seeing a few discrepancies between what people are telling me and what I'm reading. I'm a little confused about how I should dress. </p>

<p>I was told by my guidance counselor that casual dress is okay, but does that still mean no jeans? </p>

<p>Oh gosh. I'm nervous.</p>

<p>By the way, is it okay if Columbia hasn't received Part II of my application yet? Right now, I'm sure my interviewer only has my basic information.</p>

<p>I think jeans are too casual, but when people tell you be casual about your attire, they mean, don't show up in a three-piece suit. To my interviews, I wore a dress shirt and khakis or slacks. A tie is too much, jeans are too little. That was my take on it anyway, but there's always the kid who'll show up wearing a suit anyway. Good luck.</p>

<p>I think I'll go with a skirt, then. I haven't got much in my wardrobe in terms of in-betweens.</p>

<p>Where is your interview? Dress for the location. If you're meeting at your interviewer's office, dress up more than if you're meeting at a Starbucks.</p>

<p>It's another high school about an hour away.</p>
