Clean Shaven for Super Day?

I have a Super Day with a consulting firm next week at one of their Northeast US offices, and am not sure whether to go clean shaven or not. I objectively look much better with a well trimmed beard, however this firm has European origins and a large presence there, and two of the consultants I'll be interviewing with (including the MP) are European and clean shaven. Not stressing over this but just thought I'd see if anyone has any strong opinions one way or the other. Also this is for an MBA Summer Internship, if that makes any difference.

Well-trimmed beard is fine. I freaked out after wearing a pink tie to a Superday. Got the offer. Just stay within the variance of normal appearance for a consultant and you have nothing to worry about.
