I'm sorry if this is a question already covered, but what did people wear/are people planning to wear to the meet-and-greet? Thank you!

I attended the interviews last Friday. About 90% of interviewees wore a dark blue or black pants/skirt suit. The other 10% wore a button down under a sweater and slacks or skirt. I chose the sweater look, but if you have a blazer I would go that route. Good luck!

This was what a 2016 applicant said about dress code during the interview:

"Oh, and people were not dressed as formally or conservatively as I expected. You don't have to wear a black suit. You don't have to wear a skirt and heels if you identify as a woman. You can be colorful and show some personality in how you dress. I wish I'd known that in advance! I wouldn't have been so conservative and boring in my choice of outfits."

I was just planning on wearing business casual and will be wearing the same thing to the Meet and Greet.

Thank you for replying and giving such great insight!

Thank you for finding that, and I will see you in a few days (!!!!).

Hi All! Excited and nervous about Friday. I would love to meet up at the Ladle and Leaf at 11:45 and meet some of you in person!

Re attire, a friend who interviewed for MEPN (and got in) wore a suit and said most people were wearing suits. This was a while ago - 2012 maybe? But since she was successful interview I'm following her lead :D

Gaaaaahhhh...! Deep breath everyone! We got this.

Hey Ya'll, current MEPN here. I want to take a moment and send some love out to all of you. I remember this time last year, it felt like all of my hopes and dreams were resting on that interview. I actually didn't even sleep the night before because I was so anxious! But the interview itself was easy breezy. I spoke straight from the heart with the questions they asked and it was the most comfortable part of the whole process.

The way they scheduled the MEPN meet and greet is unfortunate because most of us have clinical hours during that time, so there may not be many of us there, but trust me, we wish we could be there.

Thank you @GoddessMama! I read your journey through your posts on last year's thread. I was happy for you when you were accepted into your specialty, the same one that I am applying to. Hopefully, I will get a chance to meet you even if it wont be on Friday.

Thank you for the love and for thinking of us!

Thank you so much for this. Your words make me feel a lot better!
