Anyone going to Discover Weekend? It says attire for the events are business casual, but then my interview is right when the events start to end (I may have to miss closing remarks). Are the interviews meant to be business professional or business casual? No time to go back to hotel and change! Suit might get some wrinkles from the daytime activities.
Hey; I attended the Fall Discover Weekend a few months ago, so I can give you feedback from my experience. During the initial Friday evening event (trivia and drinks), the majority of attendees wore either business professional or business casual clothing. Owen also had an optional city event following the on-campus event, so just be comfortable in whatever you're wearing if you plan to attend that.
For the following day (panel presentations, lunch, student chats, etc.), pretty much everyone was in business professional dress. We had a few hours after the panels were over to complete interviews (if you didn't have one the day prior), go back to hotels/homes, relax, etc. before another optional city/bar event.
Most people (myself included) played it safe and stayed in professional dress on Saturday during the panel presentations and lunch, since you're interacting with a lot of random students and admissions staff all day.
