I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Capital One
Interview
Interview process was heavily focused on networking events at your respective schools. Talk to people in the program, ask questions about the interview process, and make sure to get your name out there. Prepare all sorts of "tell me about a time" questions. Very quick turnaround in terms of hearing back between the rounds and actually getting you onsite. There was a bit of an "exclusive" vibe and even badmouthing other HR rotational programs at an information session event, which was unfortunate.

Question 1
Have a clear idea of why you want the job and be ready to defend a background that doesn't necessarily jive with the banks/HR.

Applied online through the university, then got a behavioral interview on campus. Lasted about 15-20 minutes. Was asked several questions basic questions to describe myself and why I was successful, and then 3 behavioral questions. The interviewer was very friendly and seemed like she wanted me to do well.
