I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Philadelphia, PA) in Mar 2008
Interview
You first must submit a written application consisting of transcripts and essays, etc. Then there is normally a phone interview, or you can sent straight to the final interview, which consists of a whole day of group interviewing, problem solving, and individual interviews.
