Anyone have any thoughts about interview attire SPECIFICALLY for McCombs?
I ask because I work for a company that is very non-traditional when it comes to dress. Essentially, all that is require of men is a shirt, tie, and decent pants. I have one suit, but I got it several years ago and have lost weight since, so now it looks big on me. I was all set to go and buy a new suit for my interview on Monday, but my admissions consultant didn't seem to think I needed one for McCombs where the atmosphere is more laid back. He suggested nice pants and a nice shirt, not even a blazer or tie. I think I would probably feel more comfortable in a suit but then again I don't want to come across as too formal.

When I interviewed on campus, there was ~8 other people going through a class visit and interview. All of us had on a suit. Maybe it was just that day, but I would recommend wearing a suit if you are interviewing. Treat it just like you are interviewing for a job. Now if you are just visiting campus and sitting in a class, I would think a button down and pants would be okay.
You will need a suit that fits anyway. So I would recommend going and buying one while you are still earning money.
I agree. I purchased a nice suit for my interview. Also, everyone at my class visit was wearing a suit.
I think the rule is pretty simple:
(1) if the activities includes an interview --> wear a suit
(2) if the activities do not include an interview --> business casual
When I visited there were about 25 or so people visiting that day, the breakdown was completely set by whether or not the person had an interview that day. If they had an interview, then they had a suit on. If they didn't have an interview, it was business casual. If one is doing a class visit but not an interview that day, wearing a suit is IMHO way overkill.
Just my 2 cents.

Anyone else starting to feel frustrated by the wait? I called them on Monday and asked what was taking so long as I interviewed on March 1st. I told them that I was delaying getting back to other schools which have upcoming deadlines and the guy on the admissions committee asked for one more day so they could get back to with an admissions decision. Nothing yet......
Anyone get any updates recently. I was told I would here last week, but nothing. Been 14 weeks

Waitlisted!
I got the email late afternoon on Friday, and checked my status. I'll be declining my spot on the waitlist. Best of luck to everyone.
