I have an interview with a law school regarding scholarships, and it is over skype because I could not go in during the times they offered. Should I be expected to dress up as a regular interview? And, is it fine to conduct it in my apartment?

Of course you should dress up. Its fine to conduct it in your apartment or wherever you can ensure you won't be disturbed during it. Make sure to have a neutral background behind you.

Is shirt and tie fine? or should I have a jacket on too?

I'm making it a point of duty to wear striped pajama bottoms and fluffy bunny slippers to my Skype interview. When else will I have this opportunity?

You should dress the same way you would if you were interviewing in person (okay, pants excepted )

I had only boxers on, kinda awkward when i stood up thinking it was over

Camera only catches your face, you could be in your boxers.

Thats what i do

haha no, I didnt stand up but i did just have boxers on.
wouldnt suggest it, kept thinking what if I have to move around for some reason

Bro just leave the TV on in the background and wear sweats and a tee. A careless attitude toward the interview will only help you.

This did cross my mind. It might be better to not have to obsess about not moving around for any reason during the interview. Fine. I'll wear pants, but the fluffy bunny slipper stay.

half-suit FTW.

in all seriousness I did have to get up in the middle of a Skype interview because my cat interrupted it ...

And you weren't wearing pants?

Make sure to tuck your shirt in though!


I wore sandals and jeans, was nice.

Actually I was wearing a full suit for this one because it was during a hurricane, and I was expecting odd occurrences/technical problems.

I don't define half-suit as no pants, per se. I consider it to also include blazer + jeans, blazer + gym shorts ...

I wonder if that would've gotten me the job.
