So....what do you wear to an on-campus interview?

[weepingwillow]

I am going to visit UCB in May and tour the campus, sit in on a class (Derivative class), and meet with the admission staff.

I'm curious with what I should wear.

I currently work at an investment bank ( BNY Mellon) and the attire is pretty informal. Would nice jeans + nice shirt + nice watch suffice? or should I follow the old adage of "being overdressed is better then under-dressed"?

Wear a suit

"being overdressed is better then under-dressed"?

Always.

Okay. I guess I'll do a black suite with white shirt, or a brown suite with grey shirt.
This way I can take the jacket off .

The other question I have is this....

I use a desktop for work and Windows tablet for class. Is this still acceptable or should I invest in a more rigorous portable devise?

No black or brown, do dark charcoal suit & white or blue shirt. Keep it classy...

Black pants white shirt is standard on the trading floor of my place

I'm curious. Did you wear the same informal attire to your interview for BNY Mellon?
