I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at US Department of Commerce (Washington, DC) in Jan 2012
Interview
I found the internship opportunity online and sent in my resume and cover letter. From there I was emailed back and set up a phone interview. The interviewer was quite nice on the telephone and only was thrown one curve ball question. just be prepared for all questions.
It was nice! They genuinely seemed like they wanted to learn about my passions and how I would be a good fit there. It was a straightforward interview and then offer.
