Back in the dark ages when I went through that, I had 2 days of nice clothes and was leaving late on day 3. I thought I'd check out the town (Tucson). One of my many many many interviews had to cancel, and he asked if I could come to his office early on day 3 for our interview. I said 'no, I only brought 2 days of nice clothes'. Years later he told me that they all discussed that when they were decided whether or not to offer me a slot, and for about 1/2 the committee it was a positive that they all enjoyed laughing about, they decided to let me in because I had character.
