It all depends on your field of work later on. See for me, my work place is pretty casual (T-shirt, jeans, flop flops) are all ok so there is no point in wearing a suit at all. Also in my field suit is not really require so I just got a cheapy $200 suit.

I think I wear my suit less than 5 time sin the last 7years? mostly to friends wedding only. So if your career field don't require you to wear suits I suggest something cheap.

Also if you are in your early 20's I also advice getting a cheap suit because as you age your body will change in size (I mean shape) Maybe you work out a lot so you will be more buff, or if you clack off your will gain fat. You will have to get a new suit in a few years or less so save your money get something cheap for now.

EDIT: Not sure what grad school interview you are going but I think most of the time as long as your suit is clean and fits that's all they care about. i would think your GPA, your interview skills, how you present yourself would be a much more important factor than wearing a $200 suit vs a $1000+ suit.
