I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Cambridge, MA) in Nov 2010
Interview
1st round - paper-based test to review quant skills - GMAT type questions but harder and more time consuming - also had group case session
2nd round - 3 1:1 interviews - all include cases - two include behavioral questions
Loved the interview process though I did not go beyond the second round. The interviewers made me very comfortable and I learnt a lot in my first consulting interview. The McKinsey guys went out of their way to help us prepare for the Interview. Was assigned a McKinsey buddy to talk to and practice with. Had on-campus case practice sessions. Website is a great resource.

Interview
they let you prep for cases and do what the book says. this is only a question of how hard you prepared. then they take the people one by one and repeat again and again. sometimes the people who give you interviews have been there for less time than 1 yr
