I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (New York, NY) in Apr 2012
Interview
The interview process is pretty standard college recruiting; intro CV screening followed by several one on one interviews, followed by a decision communicated relatively quickly. You have to think carefully in advance of which location you want to apply to as it will not be easy to change location once you have specified you want to work in a certain location and the partners there have established an expectation of you joining a particular office.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case interview standards, sometimes a bit abstract especially on partner level
3x case interviews, interviewee led, questions about experience and relevant background, always dig deeper to understand details eg on leadership experience. Cases vary all the time, need to ne ready for anything. Thinking js rewarded
Case interview about merger and acquisition
Was medium difficulty has a lot of brainstorming and analytical elements
Required quick thinking structuring and deep analysis to really ace it easily
Practice is def mandatory and failure to do so will lead to failure
