Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
some behavior questions, like "walk through your resume"
and some brain teaser questions. I do not do very well at the beginning since I am kind of nervous.
I have done something in the financial data mining, therefore the recruiter ask me some details on it.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Charlotte, NC (took a day)
It was first a 1:1 campus interview about pretty basic math concepts. Then I was invited for a onsite. First dined with the director and the Mgr, asked me about background questions and some behavioral questions. Then moved to a conference room for a group interview. It was kind of tough, option pricing, stochastic processes, coding and general questions about the company. I think I was not prepared for that.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
First, we were interviewed at our university, mainly discussed the resume.. Later called to Charlotte for the final round of interviews.
Had an evening to network with the bosses and previous QMAP students who would be interviewing the next day.
The final day started with a presentation where you had to make a decision to invest in a project/not. in a group of 5, they selected the students such that roughly half were for, others against. ( we were given the case study for the presentation a week in advance, so individual presentations were ready, but as a group needed to select a decision and make it up in an hour).
This was followed by 2 technical and 2 HR interviews. the tech was mostly from the resume, they want to know if u have handled large data sets before, along with good statistics experience. The HR interviews were not that easy, be prepared for them (a sample may be available online)
Hope this helps, all the best!

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
BoA came to our school to recruit QMAP analysts. It was a half an hour one-on-one interview, and besides asking the standard behavioral questions, such as why BoA, why QMAP, she also asked many statistics questions, based on the classes I have taken. She asked me to explain some definitions and describe a project I worked on in one of my stats classes. She was very tough and asked many hard questions. I was not expecting that many technical questions for the first round.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 2 days)
I got the interview first by phone and there were a lot of typical technical questions about the academic background and understanding of finance. Luckily I passed the first round and got into the super day. There were 4 people interviewing me in one day, two behavioral and two technical.

Interviewed Nov 2008 (took a day)
I submitted my resume through the career service , and I got an email from them telling me that they want to interview with me. The interview was a pleasant but intense experience. The brainteasers were quite hard. The interviewer was however very nice, and easy going. I did not end up with an offer though.
