I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Feb 2012
Interview
Mostly questions on my cv and background. There were questions related to advanced classes I have taken from a quant and business perspective. General questions on stochastic processes, optimization, and financial analytics. More specific questions are probably expected in on-site interviews.
The OA was quite difficult involving aptitude, debugging and programming qns. The aptitude was most time consuming and where mostly pictorial and needed much time to solve. Debugging is better and included easier qns.

Interview
Straightforward, more focus on fit and eagerness than market knowledge. Everyone was kind, interviews were short but I talked to people in various teams. Multiple stages online then I eventually received an offer in person.
