Definitely not the first one. Either of the other two are fine, though, whatever you feel more comfortable wearing. Someone else already said it: so long as you show up in a suit and tie (and they're not wrinkled and/or messy) it doesn't really matter what your color choice is.

Stay informed about recent pharmacy news just in case they ask your opinion on some topic, and don&

I like the green. Agree with the other commenter, definitely get the sleeve length right otherwise it looks like someone else's suit. It's certainly not going to make or break the interview, though. I know someone who's on a pharmacy faculty and has done some of these interviews (you wouldn't believe some of the train wrecks). Just be professional, DON'T regale them with

I should say the sleeves on the first one are not really that long, the jacket was just bunched up a bit. Realized that after the pics.

I'm going to take the suit to a tailor on Monday and fix a couple areas. I went, size wise, with what the guy at the store told me to go. He and I both agreed there needed to be a few tweeks here and there.

I can easily swap out the tie

Do NOT wear that shirt in the first photo.. sleeves are WAY too long.. the problem with the other 2 shirts is that they are both button-down collars.. fine for work, not good enough for an interview.. break down and get a white shirt goddamnit!! Make sure you get the right size, and wear the red tie with it.. feel free to pick the brains of the sales people at the store too.. they will LOVE to

Having gone thru the admissions process and worried about just this exact thing, let me just say this....it won't matter. They will see the suit, notice that you have on a tie and move on. All of the choices you posted are wonderful selections. I absolutely know what it is like to agonize over every little detail, hoping to get an edge over the next person. Your admission profile will do that

I don't think it's a bad idea to go conservative for your interviews. You can always step out later. I like the green combo the best of the ones you've shown. Good luck!

Bold colors aren't necessarily bad - you just want to make sure that they don't overshadow who you are. The problem that many people have is that they spend all this time on an outfit that makes them stand out, and they aren't comfortable, so the interviewers remember the outfit but nothing else memorable.

That said (and bear with me, I tend to be fairly critical with
