I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (Columbia, MD) in Feb 2012
Interview
I applied to APL through the Johns Hopkins advance scholars program. About two months after I applied I was contacted by a department supervisor. He "interviewed" me. It was more of him describing the project that he was working on that I might be able to help out with. He told me that he wanted to hire an intern if he was able to get enough funding. The next week I got an offer.

Interview
It’s a 1 round interview for interns, and it was more technical than behavioral. However, it’s dependent on the group/position you’re applying for. My interviewers were really nice and explained what I would be doing if I was hired.
