Interviewing with Sloan's tomorrow and I'm still not sure what to wear. Do I need to wear a suit for the interview & events? Since it's MIT I would expect the dress code to be less strict.

Unfortunately I don't actually own a suit. I have a jacket and nice pants but that's it. Is it worthwhile to buy a suit for the interview?

As someone who grew up without the money for a suit the whole concept of traditional dress clothing appears antiquated and arbitrary.

Jacket and pants is fine. Wear a tie.

Realized that I completely forgot one, but I will be sure to pick one up beforehand. Thanks! It's been a while since I've had to wear anything more than a T-shirt or a flannel and jeans.

Haha, exactly what I said before. The client's focus was always on the value you added, not what you wore. You just still had to look presentable. It helped that I worked primarily with clients in fashion or technology.

What are you interviewing for? I thought mba interviews don't come out for a few weeks...

Wear a 3 piece suit with Chuck Taylors. They'll think it's a hoot.

Nice, good luck op!

Why wont you just buy a suit? Youll need it even after your interview and definitely in B school

Thanks EY1!

A2 - I only applied to this program this year so if I don't get in this year I'll just hold off on buying one until I actually need it since I wouldn't wear one otherwise.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard
