Interviewed Mar 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
I applied for the Associates Program through my school. I submitted my resume, cover letter, and writing samples.
After a few weeks, they emailed me to let me know that I was chosen for a 1:1 interview. The interview went well, they asked mostly behavioral questions because as most people know, they want to see if you exemplify their 8 habits.
After the interview, they called me within a few weeks to invite me to SuperSaturday (which is a challenge day).

Interviewed Nov 2009 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
I applied on-line. Received an email to come in for the interview. I came in and interviewed with HR. Then came back and interviewed with the Program Director. I was offered the job a week later. The salary was really low. I spent a few days negotiating the salary. It still was really low, but I took the job anyway.
Negotiation Details
It was tough. I negotiated about $10K more than the offer, but it was still low. I took the job though. I would recommend toe everyone to negotiate their salary.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 3 days)
First, I had to do an aptitude test. Later, I had to write some ads so as to prove my competency, as I was advertising for a role as an advertising copywriter. I then had a one on one interview with the organization's creative director...

Interviewed Feb 2008 (took 3 months)
very fair process for interviewing entry level candidates. if you make it through the first round campus interviews then chances of making it through super saturday are very good. you are assessed through multiple interview types which allow you to present your full range of talents.
