I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Oct 2012
Interview
Initially I applied and did a case interview on campus. I then heard I had passed this interview and would need to take an online assessment. Make sure you move very quickly through the assessment. Move on if you get stuck, as you do not have a lot of time. After passing the assessment I was invited to Richmond for the final round interviews. We had finger food and drinks at the hotel the night before and got to meet current analysts. The next day consisted of two case interviews, a behavioral interview, lunch, and a tour of the campus. I was notified within 3 business days the result of my interview. Be sure to practice basic break even problems. The math is very easy, but make sure you do not get flustered. Ask plenty of questions. The cases were significantly longer and more difficult than the case provided on their web site or during the campus interview. Try to practice interviewing as much as possible before applying. The recruiter was very nice, and despite not getting an offer, it was a very positive experience.

Question 1
At what point are we indifferent between choosing mailing or calling?
1 online assessment followed by Power Day with 1 product and 2 cases. Power Day was quite tricky with concepts being combined and tested in different forms. Staying calm and taking in every word is crucial in keeping up with the casing.

The interviewer was friendly he asked me Quantitative questions on a streaming platform, too much math involved. I did not reach the answer though the interviewer tried to help so got the rejection.

I thought I did really well, but they emailed me back in a few hours, rejecting me. This was for the online test before the power day, and they didn't even give me a score.
