We hope applicants will keep the following professional dress suggestions in mind as they prepare for Interview Day:

• Heavy makeup, perfumed scents or strong body odor will not be permitted if accepted into the program.
• Minimal jewelry (example: one wedding band set, a watch, and one set of stud earrings).
• Visible tattoos should be covered so as not to draw attention to these adornments. 
• Visible body piercings should be removed. Earlobe gauging or elongation will not be permitted if accepted into the program.
• Nail polish/artificial nails will not be permitted if accepted into the program.
