I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One in May 2009
Interview
I applied through my school's career center. I was accepted for first round interviews. The interview wasn't too bad, but I wasn't prepared at all. It is like one large word problem. The only really tricky question was about describing a chart.
