School tie for interview?

[yuh]

Interviewing at a school soon and have the option of getting a tie and/or pair of socks with the school’s colors and logo. I’m leaning towards socks, but would like to hear thoughts on tie. I would only wear one or the other. Any help is appreciated.

Neither. Pandering is cringey.

Yikes! Don't do it.

A good friend of mine memorized a school’s chant/song (clapping and all), recited it during an interview, and was rejected 4 days later.

Edit: Moral: less is more!

😆 😆 😆 why would you recite that during an interview??

To OP though, yeah, I 100% would not wear the school's logo. If you want to wear one of their colors on your tie, I'd say go for it, but be subtle.

Yeahhhhh... don't wear school logos to the interview. It's just too much. It's like showing up to a first date and reciting a love poem. You'll be remembered, but probably not in the way you want.

I wouldn't even do that for med school graduation, let alone for an interview. Not a good look.

If I was interviewing with you at said school, and you showed up with a tie of that school, not only would there be a BBQ from all the roasting I would do, but I might just withdraw from the school from fear of being your classmate.

Where did you get this idea?

This is medical school. There is no school pride.

Also curious... if this came from a friend you should not associate with this person anymore.
