[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s been a few years since my kid interviewed and perhaps the wording is different, but I remember there being something along the lines of dress for success being suggested, as to encourage the interview being taken seriously, not a “dress code”. It’s really not a big deal.[/quote]

I mean, here is the language. It seems quite explicit/prescriptive:
We also want to remind families of dress expectations of School Without Walls admission interviews.  All students are expected to wear casual professional attire.  We expect students to wear slacks, shirt, shoes, appropriate pants, dress, sweater, blouse/shirt, or jacket (tie, jacket, and/or suit are optional). We ask students to refrain from wearing tennis shoes, tee shirts, jeans, leggings, or any attire that does not meet the standard for a formal interview.[/quote]

A kid’s ability to put together “casual professional attire” is so much more about the parents than the kid. This is strange gatekeeping.[/quote]
