CREA.tive Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I know this sounds crazy, but what do most CEGEP students wear for the interviews? It seems that a suit is the obvious answer, but I don't want to be the only one:p Edit: For girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corie Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hey guys! I know this sounds crazy, but what do most CEGEP students wear for the interviews? It seems that a suit is the obvious answer, but I don't want to be the only one:p Go with a suit. You can't go wrong and that's what most people wear. Though I do recall seeing someone wear jeans. Yeah, wear a suit unless you really really feel uncomfortable in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehumanmacbook Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Professional business attire will always be safe. Dress shirt, tie, clean shaven, neat hair, leather shoes, business suit are all great. Try not to be overfancy with pocket hankerchiefs and vests and cuffs unless you absolutely look stunning.

CREA.tive Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 All right thanks! Some people have told me that a suit is not necessary for girls, but it looks like I will have to wear one:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larrivee Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 All thanks!Some people have told me that a suit is not necessary for girls, but it looks like I will have to wear one:D There were definitely lots of girls who didn't dress in suits. Some wore appropriate length skirts and a dress shirt or blouse. Guys though, all in suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkLvr Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Most girls at McGill's university category interviews a couple weeks back were wearing suits. Some wore pants, some wore skirts. Don't know about CEGEPs, but I'm guessing it's not that different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CREA.tive Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 There were definitely lots of girls who didn't dress in suits.

I guess that 18-year old kids don't dress the same way as "real adults":p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume McGill interviews will have a similar dressing group of interviewees. And when I say "lots" I mean no where near the majority but much more than I expected.

Someone was in jeans and a shirt at my interview (McGill); and was admitted! However, just dress in a suit if your a guy. About 80% of male CEGEP interviewees were in suits if I recall correctly.

sleeping_sickness Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I wore a pants suit to the Quebec university category interview. Most of the other girls were also wearing either a pants suit, or a skirt. I don't really see why pre-meds should dress any differently. While I have heard of the odd person showing up in jeans, it can never hurt to look professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CREA.tive Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 They read the forums too I think! Can you share with us what they told you? From the email: As this is a professional interview, making a good first impression in key, but because the M³I can be considered a more “active” or “engaged” interview process, we invite you to dress comfortably yet neat and pulled together. Examples of the dress code, for women: a reasonable length skirt (not mini-skirt) or full-length trousers of a non-jean material combined with a top (e.g. a dress shirt, polo shirt, or sweater set) is considered acceptable. An informal dress with appropriate skirt length is also acceptable. For men: a collared shirt (such as a dress shirt or polo shirt) with dress/suit pants or trousers. A blazer or business jacket can optionally be added. For all: ties are not necessary; no cargo pants, jeans, or gym/aerobic wear. Your shoes should be sensible, comfortable yet professional-looking; something in which you would be okay walking around for hours. No running shoes, “street” shoes (e.g. typical Converse, DC, etc.), beach/summer shoes (e.g. sandals, flip-flops, etc.) or shoes that leave scuff marks. In short, something professional yet flexible; something in which you can move around freely yet leave a good impression. Out of respect for those who may be sensitive to smells, please keep perfumes and colognes to an minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

over9000 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I know some people who went to the interview in jeans and still got accepted. I believe they just want to address a concern that many applicants have. I'd like to see if everyone is going to be in suit again this year. Obviously, it's the awesome way to go.

Capucine Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I don't think that anyone will wear jeans this year, not when it is written in the e-mail that you should not! Or maybe some won't read the e-mail...? But that would be kind of stupid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
