I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Aperture Foundation (New York, NY)
Interview
Simple interview process; I was in college and they asked about what I was studying and my previous communications and photography experience. There was an online component as well, which involved writing short essays. I had a connection and I think they gave me a leg up in the whole process, as these things usually go.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are you hoping to get out of this program? Who are your favorite photographers? It's good to have a working knowledge of the major players in the industry and the artists they work with.
