Just wondering. I've done interviews at medical school and went all out with the whole pants suit deal (black pants, black fitted suit top, white tailored shirt). That worked well for the MED school interviews, but people have told me grad school is different.
Should I do the same outfit for grad school interviews? Or is that over the top? I could ditch the suit, but I just thought it looked nice. Plus, alot of college professors go casual these days and I don't wanna be way over dressed (or, under dressed, I guess!).

This is for mostly doctoral programs, by the way!

You should definitely look professional for your interviews. When you are a grad student or a professor, then you have earned the ability to choose to "dress down" like your peers.
Seriously, it always looks better to be overdressed than underdressed in an interview situation. Wearing a suit to your interviews will convey the seriousness of your intentions.
Best wishes to you!

This is a formal interview. You will probably be talking to the Dean of the Collage. The best suit you can put together will pay off. My brother went to Dental School and the Dean, after the interview commented on his suit.

I would wear a suit. I'm in a phd program for clinical psych and every spring I do student interviews for the applicants we have invited for interviews and 90% of them are wearing suits -- the ones who aren't really stick out, and that's not usually a good thing

I know it's hot but I was always taught that the less skin you show the more professional you look (I don't know how true this is) so maybe try putting a very thin cardigan over the top of the dress when you go in for the interview, hope I helped!

Best suggestion wear the suit or at least something proffesional. The best for grad school is business casual.
