ankurb,
either you could be one among the lucky ones from India to get an interview invite (probably later), or you could join the "interview waived" gang. There are quite a few of us in there. FYI, I got my interview waiver email after 20 days, so I guess you still have some days left.

I second the thought above...I had my interview at the Borders coffee shop which was a block from my house. I live in Atlanta GA. The interview was on a Saturday afternoon. I wore a dress shirt and slacks. My interviewer - a manager from BCG, wore similar attire. The interview was informal, conversational and smooth. At no point in the interview did i get the feeling of being under-dressed.

I guess you just have to weigh the situation as it presents itself. If we were meeting at a restaurant for lunch on a weekday, I would have suited up, but w/o a tie. If i was interviewing with the AdCom or in the office of my interviewer, the tie would be on...

Just my 2 cents

I totally agree, my interview was at a coffee shop at 7:30 pm on a Sunday. I had no idea what to wear, but figured a suit would seem out of place and determining whether you can assess a situation is important. I wore a business skirt with heels and a blouse, my interviewer showed up in flip flops and cargo shorts. I was very glad at that point I didn't wear a suit, I would have felt very awkward

Seems like some of these discussions keep popping up. I would refer anyone considering what to wear to an earlier post written by an actual alumni interviewer:

Respectfully, he may feel differently 10-15 years from now when he is the age of my alumni interviewer. You don't need to spray weed killer on "these discussions that keep popping up". The MBA crowd has strong conformity tendencies already. No need to force it. You recommend a suit, other people prefer alternatives in certain situations. Diversity of opinion isn't such a bad thing.

As someone on the other side now, I can say that you are going to be evaluated on everything during an interview. Part of that is how seriously you are taking the process, unless your interviewer says b-casual is OK it is probably better to default to something more formal. Even a tie, nice shirt, and slacks is better than showing up in pure B-casual. Coming straight from work I understand the desire not to wear a suit if you are keeping applications on the down low.

Interviews are done by alums but alums very from extremely laid back and could care less what you wear to someone who will judge you on how serious you are taking it. Plus you want to show that not only are you smart and successful but you understand the process. I gave a kid a heads up that since we were meeting directly after work to show up in whatever is appropriate for the office, he still added a tie (which I am sure in not office attire for him)...that was noted. If we met at 8pm and he had time to change, personally I would like to think he would have put on a suit...much like interviewing for a job you shouldn't show anything but your best side.

Thanks for this. My default instinct is to wear a suit to an interview. I don't think that the dress of the alumni interviewer is a factor, really, they can wear whatever they want, they're not being interviewed.

Yet to find a correlation between app strength and interview invite. Kellogg, its students and its alums say there is no correlation. I have no reason to believe otherwise.
