On our summer college road trip last year at small midwest LACs at every stop D had an informal interview with someone from admissions (ranging from a student intern to regular admissions staff). She dressed as she usually does, jeans and a witty tee shirt. got in everywhere. Now when we recently went back to one of them for a scholarship interview she was told to dress in business casual. My d’s interpretation of that differed from my own, but I didn’t fight her on it as we were also touring the school again and the weather was lousy. (she wore a brand new pair of dressier jeans, shirt and vest…all okay, where we differed was the shoe choice…she wore “dressy” sneakers that matched her shirt, ha ha!)
