I know this is a chick question but I have an interview for film school next week and I'm wondering how formal I have to be. Its an art school not a business school.... Any suggestions?

I'd skip the formal gown, and either go with Khakis and a polo shirt, or shirt and tie... depends on what they expect you to wear. I went to a small college that required guys to wear a shirt and tie, gals "business casual"... which was never really defined.

Tuxedo t-shirt and a speedo. Scare them into admitting you.

Don't listen to him... too cold up North to wear a speedo this time of year. You'll freeze your nuggets off kid.

I'd go with a polo and some dress slacks. Well, technically I wouldn't, but I would recommend that. I just wear a T-shirt and jeans to everything. Only job interview I ever got turned down for was the one I wore a dress shirt to...
School's obviously different than a job interview, but I think being nicely dressed without being formal (id est, polo and dress slacks) is a good way to show that you're serious, but not overdoing it due to a lack of confidence.
(...though, honestly that double-knit polyester suit from the ad is making me start to rethink my interview attire...)

Be you. Just the best version of you. You can never go wrong with that strategy.

Ok some good ideas here. I am glad no one recommended a suit I think that would be a negative at an art school... Fashion police thank you.

Agreed. It all depends on what makes you feel good and confident. These days, I'd go with a cool button-down shirt (no tie) and khakis (pick your color). It's respectful, but not stuffy.
