A little help from a dental student...

[SpikeyMike83]

I've scheduled a meeting with an admissions advisor/counselor to discuss the application process, ask any questions about the Medical College of Georgia, talk about DAT etc. Its not my formal interview for admissions decisions, but I know I need to look nice. Is a shirt and tie with khakis appropriate for something like this?

thanks!

Airvent...your avatar has to be one of the strangest I have come across.

Spikey, the khakis, shirt and tie should be fine. The sportcoat might be a consideration, but at one school I toured I was told by one of the admissions personnel to take off my jacket because "It's way too formal for today."

Agreed, a button-down & tie is fine. For an informal meeting, the sport coat would be a little much.

I say sport a Pimp Jacket! It'll give them a lasting impression of you!

Slack and button down, long sleeves shirt is good enough for the occasion. Lose the khakis man, my grandma wears khakis!

Definitely look sharp, even for a casual meeting. Heck, I'd even carry a leather folder with a pad of paper to take notes on...shows you're interested and paying good attention. Plus you can doodle if they make you wait around!

Even more important, act interested, ask questions get a card and an email from anyone you hit it off with there (or anyone willing to offer) and then write a thank you, find excuses to follow up with questions (even if you know the answer). You want to find someone who is going to know you as more than a name on a piece of paper and can go to bat for you.
