The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BB&T (Winston-Salem, NC) in Dec 2010
Interview
August 2010-First interview with a local BB&T LDP graduate. Run of the mill Behavioral interview. Took about 30-45 minutes.
October 2010-Received an email saying that I had advanced and they wanted me to take the kaplar test. Which was essentially a personality/IQ test
In November I was invited to attend a two day interview in Winston Salem which would be held in December. This consisted of a dinner/social at a club. The the next day was about 4 hours of interviews. Another behavioral interview/persuasion, a writing exercise, role play, and a few other odd end things.

Question 1
Role Play-They act like a customer who wants to leave and take their business elsewhere, Not too hard but they come back with punches and unexpected answers/questions.
I applied for the Leadership Development Program - Analyst Role through my schools recruit board. I was notified by BB&T that I was selected for the first round interview a week or two later. I have only had a first round interview so far but it was fairly simple - the questions asked were your typical behavioral questions.

Question 1
Describe a time where your leadership abilities were tested.
Had a first round interview on campus. It was very basic behavioral questions and some why BB&T type questions. About a week later I was contacted to take a few personality tests. After that I was flown out to their headquarters in Winston Salem where I had one day of interviews. There was small written portion followed by two behavioral interviews. They are really trying to find fit more than anything.
