What to bring to an interview

For those that have already attended an interview, what all did you bring? Do I need to bring a copy of my resume? Do I need a bag/portfolio or should I just bring a small purse?

I just brought a small crossbody purse with my phone, wallet, mints, lipstick/lipgloss and a pen! You could bring a small notebook too if you wanted to take notes during the presentation portion of the interview day. No need to bring a copy of your resume unless the school explicitly asks you to.

I brought a bag that could fit a portfolio and a small notebook. I had my resume and school-specific essay printed out, which I thought was a little extra but it helped me *feel* prepared to review them beforehand in case they decided to address specific things that I wrote. Same with mcs1225 with the phone, wallet, mints, chapstick, and pen. I also had water, bobby pins, post-it notes, a mini lint roller (lol), and thank you cards to write & deliver afterwards. You don't need much, but it helps to bring whatever makes you feel good.

Nothing unless they asked you to bring something. A pen/pencil/eraser me be handy if they ask you to write a short essay there.
