I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Boston, MA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Applied both in school system and theirs, after one week, get invitation to the interview pre-night event and signed for the campus interview, by that time you will know who you will be interviewed. Participated and networked with the interviewer. However, my interviewer was changed at the night before my interview, and I only get to know that from the pre-night event. People are nice and easy to talk to. The day after is the campus interview.
