i recently had a similar college interview. i wore black pants and a really awesome sapphire top. it was short sleeves so i went with a black blazer too. as for shoes, mom’s favorite black pumps were killer. i wore my favorite/lucky jewelry.

you say you were instructed “business casual?” that would probably be fine. i doubt much leverage is going to be put on her clothes anyway. i decided what to wear by calling the group that was interviewing. the guy that answered the phone said the panel interviewing me would be dressed “like a day in the office” so i just mimicked what my mom and dad wear to work. it worked out well because i was dressed similarly to them.

if in doubt, i’ve always been taught to dress up slightly than dress down slightly.

hope all goes well for her!
