“I base most of my fashion sense on what doesn’t itch.” Gilda Radner
Let’s face it, we live in a much less formal era than those preceding. The
anomaly of casual Friday has become the norm in American culture. Many
people work from home, conquering the world through a computer while wearing
a comfy pair of sweatpants. This new trend can lead one astray when it
comes to the medical school interview. The increase in informality is
compounded by the fact that many of those being interviewed may never have
had the opportunity to wear a suit for a formal event.
Often times, an applicant is left with an awful feeling shortly before an
interview when they realize they may not be in compliance with the “dress
code.” It can be distressing when you discover there are rules to the game
but no one gave you a copy. Not to worry.
This article is designed to lay out the basics of what to wear to the
interview so you can devote your time to more significant issues. I hope to
present a safe, minimum standard that you can feel comfortable basing your
wardrobe choice on. The information should alleviate any stress associated
with a small yet important part of the medical school interview, which leads
us to a key concept:
When it comes to attire and the medical school interview, there is a certain
minimum threshold that you need to achieve and once you reach that
threshold any more focus in this area becomes a detriment.
Meaning, obtain the basic items for an appropriate outfit and then forget
about it. Turn your focus towards the other, more important, components of
the interview.
Here are a few more things to keep in mind as we address this topic:
The centerpiece of any well-dressed applicant is, in fact, the applicant,
not the other way around.
The perfect outfit will never compensate for under preparation or a poor
interview.
What you wear and your overall personal presentation is necessary but not
sufficient for gaining acceptance into medical school.
What You Are and What You’re Not
A clear understanding of what you are versus what you’re not is imperative
to success. You are not a corporate executive or a Wall Street stock broker.
You also are not a rock star. You are a graduate school applicant vying for
acceptance into a profession that is highly respected and equally demanding
. Appropriately dressing the part goes a long way in communicating to the
admissions committee your understanding of this concept. Therefore, you do
not need to dress like you make a seven figure income and know the recent
share price of the hottest IPO. Further, you don’t need to distinguish
yourself with pink, spiked hair and leather studded accessories. However,
you do need to dress professionally and appropriately conservative.
What does all this mean? It means that you don’t have to spend a fortune on
an outfit in an attempt to look like a million bucks. It does mean that you
will have to spend some money and time preparing a thoughtful outfit
suitable for the encounter.
Basic Terms
Like any new area of study, vocabulary is the first step towards
understanding. The area of fashion is expansive. From flannel to foulard and
pin stripes to paisley, one can be left overwhelmed. The good news is that
we don’t need to know all of that. We’re only interested in achieving the
minimum necessary standard so we can forget about all of this stuff and
focus on the important business at hand: a successful interview. Accordingly
, the following is a concentrated list of key terms necessary for our
discussion:
Cuffs: the band of material at the end of the sleeve of a shirt
Barrel cuffs: shirt cuffs that are held together by buttons sewn to the
shirt
French cuffs: shirt cuffs that are held together by detachable cuff links
Lapel: the part of a suit coat that folds back on itself, is contiguous with
the collar and overlies the chest (the material that makes the “V” of a
suit coat).
Single breasted suit (coat): a style of suit coat that has narrower lapels
and a single row of buttons for bringing the two sides of the coat together.
When fully buttoned, the lapels do not overlap.
Double breasted suit (coat): a style of suit coat that has broader lapels
that project wider on the coat, especially closer to the collar. This style
of coat has two rows of buttons and upon being fully buttoned the coat’s
lapels will overlap.
Pumps: a style of women’s shoes that have closed backs (heel cups), sides
and low-cut fronts that are closer to the toes than the top of the foot.
They can have open or closed toes and varying heights of heels.
This is a long article so the remaining information will be divided |
