My D had an impromptu interview offered to her during our Oberlin tour. She interviewed in whatever she had on…probably a T-shirt and shorts or maybe a sweatpant. Interview went fine, she eventually applied and was accepted.

This question is a frequently asked question on the boards. The answer is: just let your kid wear whatever what he wants. Whatever he normally wears when he’s hanging out with friends. Whatever he will feel comfortable in. It really will not matter. Not one bit. At any of those campuses.

Sensible shoes would be nice, but that is for his personal comfort. If he is comfortable wearing pumps then let him wear pumps.
