Application
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Feb 2014
Interview
I first dropped my resume my school's career website. I have also applied on the firm's online portal. The first round interview is hosted on campus, with 1:1 session that lasted 45min. After you the on campus round, you will be invited for the on-site super day. The interview was either on morning or during the afternoon, where 4 people from the team (first year, associate, VP, and director) will be interviewing for 50min each.

Question 1
Behavioral: "teach me something that I don't know"
Two online interviews (first HireVue, later phone call that lasted about 30 minutes), then in-person Superday. Overall, everyone was really nice. They seemed to appreciate my knowledge of the firm (I had done a lot of research before-hand), but the questions were mainly about my previous experiences.
