    I guess.
    It's easier for guys though. They say trousers, shirt, tie. For girls there are no guides at all. I know i need to be smart but also comfy. It's just soooo hard to decide. I think i need to buy something new. I have nothing that i feel looks right.

    I dunno. I think you should wear some smart black trousers & a smart shirt.

    Just wear a suit too - a blazer and a skirt? We used to wear it at sixth form college. You'll look really businesswoman-like.

    wanna go naked......:rolls eyes: :confused: :p:

    Just bust on some baggy jeans sagged low, a Sean John top, some nice pair of timbz and a new era cap; that should impress the interviewers.

    A few of my friends here study Medicine and from what I've heard, most applicants wore a suit to interview. I'd recommend smart trousers, comfy (but smart) shoes and a blouse. You could wear a smart jumper or cardigan instead though.

    I know what you mean - I've got an interview for medicine at Birmingham on Monday, which I'm getting a tad nervous about! I'm planning on wearing a black and blue dress with a black jacket over the top, so it just looks like a jacket and skirt. That with black tights, black boots, black bag, black scarf.. you can't go wrong with black!

    I'd say wear a skirt, shirt and boots, or trousers and a nice plain-coloured top, or two (layering baby!). I dunno, girls wearing suits seem to display a certain lack of imagination :rolleyes: (Also, I can't afford one )

    Smart casual. You dont want to look uncomfortable, yet you don't want to appear as if you just came from the gym.

    If you wear a suit wear an interesting necklace or ear-rings with it or something that makes it less boring as lots of other people will be wearing suits too. Try and make it a little individual.

    If I were you, I would wear a stethoscope as well as the usual interview attire (suit etc.), that would most definately inform them that you're a determined individual

    something like that ^^

    or a surgeon's outfit would go down well, maybe throw on the good old face mask as well

    ... or if you want to leave a distinct impression put on an orange jump suit... that'll get em guessing :rolleyes:
