I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PwC (Philadelphia, PA) in Mar 2010
Interview
Phone interview during first round, 3 on-site interviews second round. Interviews for interns are conducted by a Senior Associate (who will be working with that intern), Manager, and Director-level. Accepted interns are notified fairly quickly (1 week) because decision is made almost immediately after the interview. Travel to interview site (typically within major city close to the University) is reimbursed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Business cases are provided for full-time consultants, but not for interns. Questions are mostly behavioral and will revolve around explaining the applicant's ability to approach a problem, both individually and in teams, and solve the problem using resources available (research, peers, University staff). This simulates their ability to solve real-world consulting problems within the industry.
Super straight forward, standard difficulty questions with a few requiring STAR structured responses. They also asked about my experiences both at uni and extracurricular. It was online for me and I had 2 interviewers.

Question 1
Can you tell me about your most notable experiences?
DSA style questions for a data and AI role for the written potion of the interview and a case study with 10 minutes to prepare and 5 mins to go through your solution.
"Tell me about yourself," "Why should we hire you?" and "What are your strengths/weaknesses?"
Also they ask behavioural questions (e.g., handling conflict, teamwork) and situational questions about your work history...
