Process
Letters of recommendation, transcripts, several essays, and short-answer questions--afterwards selected for a phone interview. The interview lasted about 30 minutes and was super casual, more like a conversation than question/answer, question/answer. I think they're trying to tell how well they would be able to work with you, because they already know your technical qualifications from your resume.
