Some kind of blue tie, white dress shirt with french cuffs. Not sure if I should go with the white handkerchief or if that might be too much. Any opinions?
I found a couple of shirts I really liked, but them I realized they had french cuffs and required cuff-links.. Pass for me.
Will the cuffs be small enough to fit under a suit?
Pocket square/handkerchief looks like you're trying too hard IMO. Also, french cuffs are a bit dated and screams "I want to wear cufflinks"
I think a white linen folded into a TV fold is very conservative and dapper. Definitely not "trying too hard." Anything more than a TV fold though is trying too hard.
Pocket square folding is one thing I know next to nothing about. I had no idea what a TV fold looked like until just now. It's pretty subdued and not too over the top. What are some examples of folds that would be inappropriate for a med school interview?
Anything but a TV fold
I feel like I can't say this enough. If you need shirts, ties, or even suits and shoes you should check out Nordstrom Rack if you have one nearby. It's all brand new stuff from legit brands that are from "last season" or whatever. I buy $100 shirts there for $20-$30 and $75 ties for $15 pretty frequently. I've honestly never been much for shopping, but I really enjoy going there.
The one near me gets new inventory everyday.. though I don't go that often.
For anyone who has traveled with a suit bag, is it acceptable to bring a wooden hanger with a metal hook, or will the airlines not let you carry that on?
You can bring one if you want and they should have extras in the suit closet.

You're staying at the Courtyard Plantation, right? They have extras in the closet. I stayed there for almost a week earlier this month When are you getting in?

Lots of non-SDNers at my NSU interview today. Almost exclusively black suits for the guys. Girls were fine though.

Ohh just wait til you get here (if you matriculate).
I woulda shouted "Where's the funeral?" I think I'll do that for AZCOM's interviewees.
Do it on the 13th when I'm there
Sorry that's a Thursday and Thursday's suck. I doubt you'll see many of us MS1's around.

Yuck I hate Wednesdays and Thursdays. 8-5 = no bueno.
I actually ended up getting a blue shirt (sky blue on a lovely sunny day ) and a skirt suit because for some reason I hear that for girls it's better to have a skirt suit (as long as it's an appropriate length of course). As far as shoes, I'm actually going to be brave and wear simple black pumps which some Dr. Scholl's in them for added comfort. Oh and pantyhose!
As far as make-up is concerned, I actually NEVER wear it unless I go out somewhere. But you do want to look polished. I would just do the basics. Nothing too dark, no lipstick, no bright colors. Just try to stay as natural looking as possible but also covering up any little flaws like a break-out or something like that. So I'll probably do a tiny bit of foundation, some bare minerals, a little mascara and a tiny bit of eye liner. Oh and this is my personal must-have: chapstick.
As far as hair...gosh...I'm kind of debating that one too. I want to be comfortable, which for me is wearing my hair down. But I think I'll end up clipping my hair back a little bit so that it stays out of my face.
Oh I saw a lot of nice looking dental students.. Not too many med students though. I guess it's probably because you were all in anatomy.

Hearing this makes me so happy!
The nicer black suits looked fine, but the ones that looked like they were bought from JC Penney looked absolutely horrible. I've got nothing against cheap suits, but they definitely don't look as professional as other ones.
See any guys with their vents still sewed?
No, but I wasn't looking that closely lol.

It sticks out like a sore thumb, so maybe you got a group who actually realized that the bright colored thread shouldn't be there.
What do you guys think of these shoes? I don't want to spend more money on clothes than I have to, so I will wear these if they are okay.

They're fine, with a polish...

The pre-osteo forum is so much more laid back than the pre-allo forum. People over there told me my shoes were "disgusting" and that it would offend them if I wore them.
How would I replace the laces? I agree that the laces may not be dress enough. Could I go to a Macy's or some other store and buy dress shoes laces?

Seriously, it's your most important interview ever. Wear the best suit you have. If you don't have a nice suit, buy one. The returns on that investment are worth it.
I was over on the other thread standing up for you, I read that thread with a physician friend on admissions committee for weekly entertainment. You would think these these guys are interviewing for what not to wear. I'm not saying not to do your best to look professional e.g. fairly neutral/conservative suit, shirt, and tie- beyond that not being able to pay for a custom suit on 5th ave has no bearing on your acceptance.

Thank you, impact2d. I understand that it's important to dress well for the interview, but the pre-allo thread is a bit too much. I will consider new shoes, but I won't worry too much about it if I find they are out of my price range.
