I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at PolitiCorps in Mar 2011
Interview
They sped me through the interview process. I had two interviews over Skype--one with an alumni, and one with the administration--in less than a week. The interview was kind of weird. There were some problem solving questions, but they were really abstract. I was asked what I would do if the bus I was on broke down, how many people I think visit a McDonalds in Time Square on a given day, and how many tennis balls would fit in my room. They are definitely looking for something specific. I'm not sure that I would have fit anyway, but I didn't think my interview went terribly.
