I applied online and someone contacted me. I wasn't in DC at the time but they said it was fine. The phone interview was about 20 minutes. The very next day they let me know I got accepted. It wasn't too tough, just normal questions about why I was interested, my activities and interests, strengths, and weaknesses.
