I am not used to cold weather. I had planned on wearing my neat suit but from what I can tell it's going to be really cold on interiew day.
How do you keep warm is still look professional. I don't want to freeze trying to impress. I hate to carry luggage (glove, scarf, overcoat,etc) to an interview. I know they take students on tours around the campus, so you don't spend the whole time indoors.
Anybody?
 
on my cold-weather interviews ive worn a camel overcoat (wool, not real camel hair) from landsend (www.landsend.com). it is warm as heck and it only cost a little over $100.

one thing to be sure to remember is an umbrella. i know i sound like your mom, but today at work, i saw some kids interviewing for vandy med walking around in their nice suits in the rain (6 or 7 sharing a tiny umbrella). they were cold and soaked... bad combo.
