what to wear to MBA top 7 info session??

[zillka]

i signed up for mba practice test a while back.. never touched my study books or practice test ever since.

got invited by 2 top 7 schools for 'info session'.. figured i check it out since one's literally a block from work.. what's appropriate attire? i'll be coming from work so would dress shirts/pants suffice?

nobody will be evaluating you at this thing, unless you pre-registered and your name is Dick Fuld III. wear what you wore to work...

Their just interested in your tuition money, assuming you even got the creds to get in the first place. Worry about your GMAT score, not what you should be wearing.

true, i dont even wanna go the mba route, jus figured it's close by.. just don't wanna be the only dude not in a suit.. i wanted to go to the gym, run home, and put on some jeans/polo to be comfortable in case they yapped for hours.

I was thinking Dick Pound Jr.

Wear a "Will work for food" sign; seems to be pretty trendy among MBA graduates these days.

Agree with OP wearing what he wore to work, but it's possible there'll be soft evaluations. The company (a pharma MNC) I work for does evaluations of people during our info sessions pretty frequently.. and has ruled out possible candidates on fit based on their conduct as well.

These MBA info sessions are serious cattle calls, packed to the brim with hundreds of people. There's basically no way in hell the OP is going to be evaluated or remembered. Unless he does something incredibly stupid, of course, and manages to stand out that way.

yep.

probably the smartest thing you can do is meet some alumni who you get along with, and keep in contact with them. they will not affect your application other than by giving advice

So no hardon for badly dressed candidates?
