whichever you like...I don't think it will make a big difference. I'll wear glasses eventhough my lenses are so thick. ;)

To complicate the matter, it may have to do with your overall dress. I always think it is safe to go for the nerd look, whatever that may be for you.

Ultimately go for the one that make you feel the most confident in.

Good luck
 
Honey, be yourself. Do what makes you comfortable.
 
Unless the glasses are grandpappy style, big framed, thick old things, wear em.

Makes you look alot smarter ;).
 
are u judged based on your looks? yes.. go with what u think may impress them . but yeah most importantly, be comfortable and yourself.
 
People tell me i look really sexy with my glasses on. But if i wear contacts, girls (meaning ladies) start jumping all on top of me and i don't want that happening at the interview.

Split the difference. Wear a monocle.

Now that will make quite an impression!

Seriously, wear whatever you like. I wear glasses and so do a number of my classmates and professors. Trust me, adcoms are far more interested in your character and interpersonal skills than the fine-tunings of your appearance. Go in with a smile and confidence and knock 'em dead. ;)
 
thanks for the imput, with the vote so close (right now 22 glasses and 25 contacts) i will alternate!

cheers!

if you have some $expensive$ fine made Italian glasses, wear them......if you got 200 dollar glasses from walmart...wear contacts
 
I dont need glasses or contacts, so I'll just be wearin my cheap sunglasses.
 
As long as the glasses don't look like this and are sufficiently stylish.. you should be ok to wear them..

oh oh.I am in trouble. My glasses look just like that. ouch!
 
does this poll apply to girls as well?
 
Just get Lasik surgery and don't bother with either!

What's 3-5k extra when you're going to have 100k+ debt anyway!
 
i have been wearing contacts for 5 years.. and haven't really updated my glasses in 6 years.. i want to get new ones.. what you guys recommend :)
