[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That seems unnecessary.   [b]It's a public school! [/b]Just wear a polo shirt or other button down shirt.  They are more interested in what he says, not coat and tie.

I'm surprised you would even want your kid to attend a school that you thought needed a coat/tie interview.  [/quote]

What a snob!  Like WM and U Richmond or Vassar would have different guidelines.  My current WM 2026 DD wore jeans (can’t be seen), a plain colored light t-shirt by Polo (no collar) and a long flowing coordinating cardigan that is very much her personal style. Long hair neat and pulled back. Basically business casual for teens. Agree with PP, she had a ring light for interviews.

Must have worked. She was admitted (and to private colleges, wearing the same basic outfit to interview).

OH stop clutching your pearls!  My DD goes to a public VA university.  My DS will go to a public VA university in 2 yrs.  I went to THREE public universities and DH also went to a public university.  I'm not against public universities or speaking pejoratively of them!  I'm simply making the point that W&M is PUBLIC and therefore should not be equated with a stuffy, snobby PRIVATE school.  I'm envisioning certain private boarding HSs in New England being the "stuffy" type of school that would expect prospective students to wear a "jacket and tie."  I cannot imagine a public Virginia university having the same expectation (thank god).  [/quote]
