Dressing for a Med School Interview Comments Off

It is no secret that the usual advice when it comes to grooming and dressing for med school interviews is to keep it clean, neat, and conservative.

What this usually means in a color-neutral suit for men and the same for women. For women, you have a choice between a pant suit versus a skirt. Any will do as long as you are comfortable and look professional in it. Women may forgo the suit but make sure that your substitute is very personal.

I personally don’t like giving dress codes since a lot of brilliant applicants just have personalities that don’t go with suits and ties. But since this is a one-time thing it is best to just let ones personality shine through via your words rather than as a fashion statement.

As for the accessories make sure not too wear any flashy jewelry. Keep your shoes shiny and clean and if your a woman and comfortable with power heels, then by all means wear them. If you’ll be teetering a tottering as you enter the interview room though, go with a more reasonably-heeled shoe.
