[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long time Ivy interviewer. Jeans are fine. There is a lot of implicit bias though everywhere so I’d [b]try to look attractive[/b], but no need to be fancy at all. [/quote]

I know. I don’t judge people that way in interviews but I’ve been trained in implicit bias and it happens everywhere at all levels. I’m actually hoping people read this and check their own bias when conducting interviews. When we parents applied, a lot of these schools wanted photos. I don’t think the schools are actively considering that now, and interviewers certainly aren’t asked to evaluate that. But I’d make extra effort to be clean and presentable. 
Also, if an in person interview, reschedule if you’re sick. People don’t like contagious people and studies show you’ll likely be perceived poorly in the interview, regardless of performance. [/quote]

Clean and presentable is not the same as attractive. I find your advice very troubling.[/quote]
