Interview
I applied online through my University. I was then contacted and asked to do an online test that asked questions about my work habits and logic questions (similar to LSAT logic questions). After this I was contacted and told that I received an interview and they suggested I attend an informational event, which I did. I then had my interview the next morning with a woman I met the night before.
