I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group in Oct 2011
Interview
on campus resume drop resulted in a first round interview. First round involved two 45 minute case interview with consultants. Received second round invitation the next day by phone. Second round was in the office, involved 3 one hour-long interviews with a principal and two partners. Fit/resume question for first 15 minutes, case for the rest. Received offer the next day. Cases were very involved and based on interviewers' previous work. No stress interviews for undergraduates. The people I met were all brilliant, friendly, and excited about work, something I can't say for other firms.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case interview standards, sometimes a bit abstract especially on partner level
3x case interviews, interviewee led, questions about experience and relevant background, always dig deeper to understand details eg on leadership experience. Cases vary all the time, need to ne ready for anything. Thinking js rewarded
Case interview about merger and acquisition
Was medium difficulty has a lot of brainstorming and analytical elements
Required quick thinking structuring and deep analysis to really ace it easily
Practice is def mandatory and failure to do so will lead to failure
