I'm sure there are threads on this - but I can' find them. Is it better to wear a suit with pants or a skirt for females. Thanks!

I believe that the conventional wisdom is that skirts are the safer bet, but in practice either should be fine (unless you are applying to a very conservative school). The much more important thing is to look professional.

there are MANY more, but here is a recent SDN discussion of this topic:
Women to Interview: Pant suits or Skirt suits?

and another:
Ladies: Skirtsuit or Pantsuit for interview?

and yet another:
Ladies, What are you wearing to the interviews?

the search function of SDN is indispensible!!!

pocwana...thanks for saving us another go at this discussion 🙂.

to the OP, take a look at the Earrings thread for laviddee's great summary of what to wear rules...

take my word and wear just a suit....nothing else....pants/skirts are details you are better off without them! first of all....it will show ur originality (for I don't think anyone has ever tried it)...it will show how brave u are (two risks...getting rejected...and getting arrested for indecent exposure)!

most important though.....don't forget to trim....ADCOMS don't like bushy applicant!

best of luck
