I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Harvard University (North Cambridge, MA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Interviewed with 6 different professors throughout the day. Some were very enthusiastic about their work and a blast to talk to, but I was turned off by some antagonistic questioning by some of the professors. One even asked me a derogatory question about the fact that I went to a mid-tier state school for undergrad, and the vibe was very uncomfortable. I knew I did not want to come here very quickly.
