I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GE (Fairfield, CT) in Jan 2012
Interview
For the entry-level FMP interview, the interview is entirely behavioral questions. It usually starts with an on-campus interview, then phone screen, and finally in-person interview. No case studies or anything like that. They really just want to confirm that you know what you are getting into and why you want to do corp finance so questions will be designed accordingly (which do you prefer more accounting or finance?)
