<p>Hey guys! What should I wear to my interview for University of Rochester? Should I wear formal or unformal attire?</p>
<p>Casual but not sloppy.</p>
<p>Unless you’re interviewing for interviewing for one of the competitive programs, then I’d dress a bit more professionally.</p>
<p>so am i allowed to wear a shirt and jeans? and tennis shoes?</p>
<p>Nice jeans that are clean, don’t have any tears or rips and don’t show your “whale tail.” (See the urban dictionary if you don’t know what that means.)</p>
<p>Nice shirt that is clean and that does NOT have another school’s logo emblazoned on it.</p>
<p>Sneakers are OK–again if they’re clean and presentable.</p>
<p>Slightly different opinion from another mom - I don’t recommend jeans or sneakers. You certainly don’t want to go formal, but one step up from jeans and sneakers is my recommendation.</p>
<p>Dress to impress</p>
<p>Unformal but not jeans and t-shirt.</p>
<p>Top with polo shirt or something with collar. Pair with khaki or preppy shorts. </p>
<p>Enjoy your time at campus and the city, you will like it.</p>
<p>Honestly, from the perspective of an admissions counselor… wear what you are comfortable wearing. Certainly you would want to avoid any inappropriate clothing, but I am interested in getting to know you as an individual, and if your clothing/style is an expression of that, than I’d say wear what you want to wear. A t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers is perfectly acceptable. Also keep in mind that you will likely be touring campus, and it has been a hot summer, so dress to be comfortable in 90 degree whether for an hour long tour. I would avoid over-dressing - we as counselors are dressed down in khakis and polos for the summer.</p>
<p>*weather, not whether</p>
