Got responses the second day I sent in my resume and transcript; scheduled a meeting/interview for two days later. The interview lasted for ~30 minutes and the professor asked for self-introduction, past research experience, experiences of problem solving and interests for this particular project and ideas on it. After the interview she asked me to hand in an "assignment", where I needed to find a related article, summarise it and explain what can be learned from it to use in our project
