Uni interview

I'd wear a suit. Less worry then. You won't get rejected for making an effort to dress smartly.

Edit: Yep I'm behind the times, *reads all of thread*

Oxford, Cambridge, I guess some London Colleges, Medical Schools: full suit. For anything else smart-casual should suffice.

Rubbish. Very few wear suits to oxbridge interviews.

Well considering my tutors never got round to wearing ties and generally looked quite scruffy, I would say it would be safe to go in trousers, shoes and shirt.

I was one of the first two who went to Vienna on the year in industry, also Tim Hopkins is my tutor, absolutely awsome bloke to have for anything, does cryptography in the last year as well, between him and santa we have it all at kent.

I just dressed casual, dressing up in a suit just seemed a little over the top. Worked for me

You make the biggest impression with what you say, and if you can, bring some of your best example work too.

Yep; smart-casual is the norm for Oxbridge.

I didn't even bother dressing up for any of my interviews and still got offered places. Then again it does depend on what you want to do I believe and doing Physics means I didn't really have to dress smartly since all the lecturers are dressed ten times worse.
