All i really want to know is should I wear a suit or not? I have class right up until the meetings, so attire will be kind of difficult.

I realize the questions should be focused on something the bank is known for/specializes in/something that interests me.

edit: just saw the other thread on the ibanking forum

 

Wear a goddamn suit boy! So you have to wear it in class, who cares?

i'm at a target and most info sessions are skewed more towards the business casual end of the spectrum. the only time you HAVE to wear a suit is if they specified business formal or something like that. there are obviously the kids that always wear suits but most people are in similar situations (class/work/sports/etc all day) and usually just wear tasteful and presentable outfits. i typically just wear a nice dress shirt and dress slacks which is casual enough to go to a couple classes in and not feel uncomfortable (not a fan of the suit if i dont have to wear it) but still leaves me professional-looking for the evening session

 

Right but you're trying to get a job. You're trying to impress them. Who cares if you look like a tool? It is always better to be OVER-dressed than UNDER-dressed.
