To me it all depends who is doing the interview.

My S had 3 interviews. One was with the school admissions officer at a hotel. I believe he bought S a coke.

The other 2 were strings pulled by people we know - one was the head of the engineer board of the school, the other was on the board of a school and knew the head of admissions.

In all three cases s wore dress pants, shirt and tie. But he has to wear a sports coat and tie for school everyday - gotta love the parochial schools. My feeling is what you wear is showing respect to the person who is taking their time to meet you.

Two of the discussions were in these men’s homes. In fact one guy lived next to ds’ bff and when he saw the house he laughed about how often when he was little he was all over that guys yard and house playing nerf wars.

If it’s informational I suppose you could go more casual, but imo, why not present your best self?
