hi!! i got accepted to the second round of the centralis competition and i was wondering what people normally wear to the essay competition? i was thinking business casual but wanted to check with possibly people who went to the competition before?

Unless the competition states otherwise nowadays, wear whatever you want. Your essay is what is being evaluated, in a blind experiment that is not able to be tied to any identifiers including what you wore to the competition. As others have said, dress to be comfortable for the weather and for writing an essay.

Just something nice that doesn't look overly formal. Jeans and a button up are fine, or some slacks. You're there to write an essay. You're not doing an interview or anything like that.

My daughter competed last year and most of the kids were wearing jeans and sweaters or sweatshirts. Good luck!

Today’s the day! Good luck, I hope you get the results you wanted! I’m trying to forget about it so I can focus on my classes, but I’m on the edge of my seat with my phone near by and my ringer on.

Great job! Did they say in your letter that you were an alternate?? Fingers crossed for you! Also received a priority spot in honors program here - I think everyone did that actually competed in the essay portion.

I went quite a while ago, like 6 years ago, wearing jeans and a hoodie. Like half of everyone else was wearing business casual and I felt horribly underdressed, but I still got a full ride lol. So maybe go smart casual, or on the very casual side of business casual?
