[quote=Anonymous]I think it's fine, but I will say this. I alum interview for a top college, and I was talking to another alum at an event. She said she met a student for an interview before school at the school library (I always did coffee houses but apparently this is a thing you can set up). She complained that the student was dressed informally in her field hockey uniform. I was like-- well if that's what she's wearing at 7 AM, I could deduce that she has a game and it's a spirit day and that's what she is expected to wear at school that day and she doesn't have time to change. Not good enough for this alum! The alum also complained that the girl did not bring a resume when THEY ARE SPECIFICALLY TOLD NOT TO.

It's a crapshoot. You never know who you are going to get. The good news is the alum interviews don't tend to move the needle. The bad news is they sometimes can, more than people want to acknowledge in my experience.

If you want to be very, very safe, you can do more of a business casual thing. 98 times out of 100, the interviewer will not think anything is wrong with a kid neatly dressed in jeans.[/quote]
