For people who have done this, what kind of attire is best? I have a meeting with an adcom member from my top choice, and I don't apply until next year.

I feel like full interview attire is a little overkill.

oh and I AM FEMALE.
 
I did this at a couple schools this last April. All I wore was what I would normally wear: nice jeans with a button down shirt. If I were you, the female equivalent to that will probably do it.

Haha that sounds good. The general conception of these meetings is that they are informal right?
 
i'd wear what you normally would, but not jeans. any other nice pants, like black ones or khakis.. and possibly a casual top or sweater/cardigan thing

...and a peek-a-boo blouse would be nice...
 
don't overdress. as he will probably remind you during the meeting, this is not an interview.
