No one, I was exaggerating to make a point. Because someone's judgement in clothing isn't where it should be for a medical student or physician doesn't mean they cannot learn proper attire. I just think its bourgeois to first write off an applicant because of a mistake in judgement about apparel and second to bitch and whine about it.
Speaking of "who the hell said that". lol
It's about judgement, a critical characteristic, and a choice that reflects VERY poorly on it.

Funny thread, especially when the definition of a miniskirt itself is argued. Instead of guessing, why not check Webster?
- a woman's short skirt with the hemline several inches above the knee
Then you can look up "several" and you can see that it means "more than one." So, here is a definition of a miniskirt: any skirt with more than one inch above the knees. Can this be appropriate? It can be not only appropriate, but very tasteful. The attorney with whom I have worked for years often wears such a skirt (full suit) and it is very professional and looks great. So if done in taste, it can only help. I obviously don't know the circumstances the OP is describing, but it is not hard to surmise that sometimes a female interviewer might not like such a skirt for various reasons and put the interviewee at a disadvantage. I don't know how often that might happen, but it would probably help if you are a down-to-earth and easy-going individual. If you're haughty, then it will not go well regardless of the clothes you wear.
The interview is a sales pitch. If you're there, then you are just as likely to get in as anyone else. Barring any egregious social handicaps, trivial dimensions like your looks and zealousness could be the deciding factor. So wear whatever makes you look your best.
By the way, you don't have to wear a skirt to look great at all. I know some women who don't have the best legs for a skirt, but the gluteus maximus is absolutely decimus and those professional pants amplify that aspect even further
Exaggerating a point (knowing you have no idea what the girl actually wore) so far "out there" that its absurd to even question is a cute debate trick but lacks logical basis. 
👍 Good point. Yes, it does show a lack of judgement in this area, but thats really trite in my mind.
The point is that the word "miniskirt" could be anything from 1.1 inches above the knee all the way to the bikini line. So when someone here says miniskirt is not ok, it really depends particularly what length they're talking about because there is a dynamic range. Some people also have longer legs, so sorter skirts fit fine.
Google images is not really a good measure for a definition of a word, but if a sociologist had a good data to suggest that a miniskirt has a new definition, then Webster would be outdated and in need of a change. I just stick to Webster since there is no way to keep up with all the social trends, even if I cared to keep up.
The photo was just a single example at the conservative range fitting the definition, but it can be shorter and still look good. I don't want to search too much, but something a little longer than this could work as well:
True, but the title really had nothing to do with the actual thread.
Yeah, there are some pretty good looking girls at my school who still act "girly" in all ways. It's just that they need to switch into professional mode when appropriate. The real challenge is where internet "social networking" meets "profession". People need to be careful what they put on facebook/myspace, etc.
