Do most guys wear a suit for the photo they submit to medical schools? Or is a shirt/tie fine?

I sent in a picture of me doing a keg stand

Shirt + tie. Most hospitals for example typically show their faculty wearing shirt and tie, but usually not with suits.

I wore a very casual button down. No one seemed to care.

If you're asking about the photo for your application then no, you dont need shirt and tie. Mine wasn't even a button up shirt.

Blazer and and plain tee in mine. Figured it suited the purpose without being COMPLETELY suit-and-tie overkill.

Was also wearing PJ pants or something, iirc... but that didn't make it into the picture.

you don't want to smile so hard that it looks like someone is tickling you but would you want someone's first impression of you to be frowning or looking grim?

btw, the schools I got interviews to were the ones I was most casual/relaxed/smiling in. I wasn't wearing anything fancy and just looked normal.

Awesome, thanks guys!

If I knew where you lived, I'd bike to your house and give you a dollar.

The only suit I have found so far that I like at all has a cap sleeve jacket. Is that ok Also any suggestions for shoes & wear peep-toe pumps
Suit: A two piece matched suit is always the best and safest choice.Conservative colors / fabric: Navy, dark gray Everything should be clean and well pressed Tie styles come and go. Select good quality silk ties. Avoid fashion because it's not look professionnel.
