Hi! In anticipation of upcoming MMIs, I was wondering if females would be willing to share what they wore for their interview/what is appropriate or expected.
Thanks!

Wear something on the business casual side (dress for the job you want - but I don't mean scrubs). Doesn't need to be dress or skirt, dress pants work. Shoes that are comfy but stylish. Make sure whatever top you have to keep in mind in May, in that building it can be very warm (on top of adrenaline) so be mindful of sweat and pit stains  . But the important thing is that you feel confident in it! |

I wore a blazer, black leggings and a pair of flats. I'd strongly advise against a blazer if you over heat easily it's very warm in the building and being too hot or fiddling with your sweaty hair can be distracting.
Speaking as someone who's done the interviews for the past two years, it doesn't really matter what you wear. It's more important that you're comfortable. I can't say its something that I really focus on when interviewing you.

Last year I wore a black blazer with a blouse underneath and black dress pants. A lot of people wore something similar to me, BUT there was a variety (saw someone in a nice dress/blazer, someone wearing just a nice oxford shirt & dress pants, saw one person that did not dress up at all that wore extremely casual clothing). This year I'm going to wear dress pants and a blouse. I worried a lot last year about this but once I was there I realized that everyone is different. It sounds cliche but seriously, wear what you feel comfortable in, what looks good to you, and what makes you feel CONFIDENT walking in to the room. Your clothes are the last thing you want to think about when you're trying to think through interview questions |

I agree with others that business casual with comfort is the way to go so I will focus on the faux-pas:
- no flip flops or any shoes that show your toes
- no need to go all out to stand out ie flashy makeup, expensive designer off the runway business formal with designer bags
-NO HEAVY SCENTED SMELLS - in the vet world, people prefer minimal scent, it is a fear-free thing. Deoderant is always a good idea though
- no cleavage, no midriff, nothing higher than an inch or two above the knees and no see-through items - I have heard people be red flagged for major exposures
Ultimately, the goal is to appear clean, professional, yet approachable. Hope that helps!
