Seriously, though, clean cut for an interview.

IF you had wanted to keep the beard, get a beard trimmer. Trim it on a low setting. You still get the "definition" of the beard, but it is a clean look.

Some people need a beard or they look like kids. While I didn't look like a kid, when I was 23, my beard was very helpful in my profession, since it made me look older, which added "experiece". Most field engineers in that field were younger guys or very old guys.

Since you are applying for a school program, youthful appearence isn't an issue. Get a really good haricut. Take your suit to a tailor and have it refit it to make you look as good as possible. It is cheap money, but money well spent.

You might even consider getting your talons professionally refinshed.
