what do you wear?

I don't. I suspect they'd appreciate the fact that you're making an effort.

But casual clothes shouldn't disadvantage you :smile:

One guy in my year came to interview in wellies, spread mud all over the admissions director's floor and still got in :rolleyes:

I mean only in that if you're uncomfortable you're likely to be more flustered and less on the ball.

EDIT: :biggrin:

More fulstered!?
We are talking a bloody suit not a corset.
You don't even need to wear a tie. Just a shirt and jacket will give the proper effect as someone who is actually serious.
This is an interview to get into the top uni in the country, not the checkouts at the local tescos.

I am truly ashamed not to have picked up on that.

Good film huh! I even read the book. In fact, I co-directed a scene from the play. I was Clockwork Orange mad for a bit. :biggrin:

As was I! I think it ran from about the ages of 12 to 14, and still persists somewhat to this day. Read the book, again and again. It was when they re-released the film – all those flashy adverts on telly. Me, impressionable? :rolleyes:

Hmm, think I'll read the book again soon!

I have to say I'd agree with that – the male types should wear a shirt in some guise. I mean, you wouldn't really turn up for a job interview in your scally tracksuit bottoms and a baseball cap, would you? Having said that, I still think I'll wear jeans :biggrin:

but you're applying for a "job" where you arent expected to wear a suit anyway!

I will just re-iterate this over and over.....either where what you NORMALLY wear....or wear something better...just never go lower than what you normally wear. Very few people decide to make themselves look like complete tramps deliberately, so it's unlikely that what you wear normally will be sub-standard!

That's very true!

Oh, just all be yourselves! You're hardly going to get in just because the interviewer likes your tie or something...although you never know...
