I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Brandeis University (Waltham, MA) in Feb 2011
Interview
You join several other candidates on campus for a couple of days and are led around by current grad students, but only one of them is technically for the interview. The rest is for socializing and getting to know the university. The interviews themselves consist of meeting with 4 faculty members, where you have a conversation with them about the school, your background, and their research. It's informal, but intimidating.
