what's the preview day?? =S
Just got an email saying they're all but rejecting me as of now. Kind of blows, since this was one of the schools I was really excited about. I wonder if there's anything else I can do? Should I e-mail them saying how much I really want to go? Maybe my essays weren't as good as I first thought they were.

Note (because I know somebody is going to argue): If you, the reader, are considering posting about how a MTM/Brooks Brothers/whatever suit is better quality than any Men's Wearhouse OTR, I really don't care. You're missing the point.
But I feel the need to justify my Brooks Brother's suit purchase by arguing on the internet! That's how it works right?
To add to the very good points above, if you're choosing between a cheaper suit and an expensive one, getting the cheap suit and having it tailored perfectly afterward will take you farther in terms of impact per dollar for sure!!
Good point. Just so we can have it for this thread, what price/breakdown would you set for suit tailoring? I would expect $50-75, average.
To add more - shoulders fit is paramount. Tailors generally can't do much about the shoulders so don't expect miracles there.
haha when I was living in Israel a good friend of mine went on vacation to thailand...he had 2 custom made tailored hugo boss knock off suits made for im not joking $30 bucks each, they looked sickIt's funny - nowhere else have I seen more impassioned discussion about suiting than on SDN. Even Styleforums (yes, I've been there) is more low-key. There's an old thread floating around on SDN where some guy, IIRC, went to Hong Kong to get a custom-made suit, spending >$2K on the suit + shirt + tie + shoes. It sent people into hysterics, and I hope to avoid that.
I'm going to the preview day

This.^^
The thought of going out of the country, especially HK, to drop that much coin on a custom made suit is unheard of to me.
whats funny is that he had the markings for any company you wanted and he'd sew it into the knock off suit...but it was still great quality for so cheap...my friend told me he would have gotten more but theres a customs law saying you can only take out of thailand max of 2 suits hahahaThis.^^

Yeah, my shopping experience in HK was the opposite of that, but then again, most of the stuff I snagged from there were cheap quality goods.
Anyways, anyone interviewing this upcoming Thursday?
as barney stinson would say...the suit speaks louder than wordsI think its kinda funny that this thread has turned into a thread about fashion advice rather than Western stuff thanks for all the advice fashionistas!
what hotel is everyone stayin' @ this thursday?
Hi! I have a quick question about submitting the secondary.
According to the instructions, it is recommended to submit the app + LOR within 10 days or else it will result in "delayed processing." How strict is the school with the 10 days rule? Since I'm still waiting on my new MCAT scores, wouldn't my app be put on hold anyways until they receive the new scores?
Thanks in advance!
I rec'd my secondary 8/5 and submitted the secondary essay, etc on 8/18 and LOR were finished on 9/7 so I def went over the 10 day mark. I rec'd an interview invite on 9/14. So there is hope, but I wouldn't test them on their policies if you know what I mean. Do it as soon as you can.. I would prioritize your schools.
-If you get an interview, don't stay in Pomona (scary). Stay in the nicer areas (Fairplex area, Claremont, Chino Hills, Ontario, La Verne).
Pomona is really not that scary (unless you've lived in carefully groomed suburbs your whole life), and Fairplex is basically part of Pomona. Come on.

Where is everyone staying tonight? I'm scrambling to find a hotel (cancelled my reservation in Pomona after an 88 yr old lady on my flight scared me)

Haha yeah... she said I need to watch my back... and front. She also told me to take off all jewelry and to not walk around outside. I asked a few people at the info desk at the airport and they kind of felt the same way.

Edit: By the way, very few students live in Pomona (except those living on campus). Most live in Claremont, so if you have the opportunity to rent a car, it's worth it to take a look at the downtown claremont area after you're done with interviews!
It says 10-15 days in the info packet but were told in 2-3 weeks we should get a response via snail mail.
I liked their interview format, tbh. Were you there today as well?
Thanks for the info!
No I wasn't there... How was MMI? And how many other applicants were there?
Anyone who interviewed today willing to share their thoughts??
Anyone care to share their experience? The interview style or type of questions they were asked? I have not had an interview yet and am trying to prepare for it. Any ideas?
