What should I wear to my interview tomorrow at Imperial?

I was planning to wear a normal top and jeans and trainers, but someone just said I should wear a shirt and trousers.

What do you think?

Also does anyone else have an interview tomorrow at Imperial? (for computing.)

That's a stupid question really. If you're not sure what to wear, you wear shirt and trousers. It's an interview, so you should wear them anyway.

My mate went for an interview there - she wore smart trousers + smart top + smart shoes (= good impression) and said that most of the other candidates were in suits. She thought what she was wearing was fine tho - i wouldn't recommend jeans and trainers cos they might think you just can't be arsed to make an effort for their uni. Hope that helps and good luck!

Ok i'll wear a shirt. Do you think I need a tie? I'd feel a bit stupid walking round London in a suit - im planning to stay in London until about 8.

Wear a suit without a tie..the tie makes u look desperate. Err..yea how serious are you actually about this interview? Actually mate..go ahead..wear your jeans and t-shirt, your old trainers..oh oh.and don't forget NOT to comb your hair. They'll REALLY like you..(sarcasm these days).

Wear smart trousers, shirt and smart shoes. Take a tie with you in a bag, as you can always put it on just before you get there, and take it off if nobody else is wearing one. I went to all my interviews in smart trousers and a smart top, doesn't hurt to look smart as it shows you've made the effort for them.

I am serious about the interview - I was gonna wear reasonably smart jeans and a smart top - just not a shirt and trousers.

I have been pursuaded to wear a shirt and trousers and shoes now though!

although, in a suit most people look older- so you could prob pull off being 19/20.

there are a large number of men walking round in their 20's in suits.

So would the most normal thing be to wear a jacket with an open-necked shirt?

Yea if you do, they'll know that you've probably got an interview...after all..London is full of unis. Or they'll confuse you for a business executive or some high class 'chap' with a terribly wealthy daddy. Either way, it's not too bad..

What should I wear to my interview tomorrow at Imperial?
