I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Nov 2014
Interview
Applied through career services at target school and was given a first-round interview. First round was a 30 minute case interview on campus with an alum who is currently a VP. Within a few days I received an invitation to the Richmond campus for on-site interview (they covered all expenses). I had three 45 minute interviews in the morning, two more cases and one behavioral, generally with mid-level managers who went through the BA program. After a non-evaluative lunch and tour with current BA associates and a couple of other BA candidates, I was called back for a final round interview. The final round was a short case followed by some fit questions with a Managing VP who had been through the BA program. The recruiter for my university called two days later with an offer.

Question 1
I'm not at liberty to give specifics, but make sure that you keep the big picture in mind and avoid getting caught up in the calculations. It's important to get the right numbers but it is arguably more important to be able make a recommendation based on a broader understanding of the situation, especially in the on-site case interviews.
3 rounds of interviews, technical round focused on domain of expertise. Then there was a case study round. Interviewer was interested in execution of clear thoughts on data along with written codes.
I was referred so first a game like assessment that tested basically middle school algebra skills. Then a business case power day with three different interviewers, two of them were analytical and one was product
R1 was VJT, which was fairly simple. R2 was a screening case study, and lastly a Powerday. Powerday was grueling and cases were math heavy (bank related as well). Would recommend the process.
