There were two rounds of interviews, both conducted over the phone. The first round involved a review of my resume, and the second round was a technical interview. It's recommended to prepare core Java concepts, and it's okay to look up information online during the interview.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I applied via the school's career fair, and the whole thing took about 20 days. Around two weeks after I submitted my stuff, a recruiter gave me a call and set up a phone interview with the interviewer. About a week after that, I had two rounds of interviews. The first one was just to see how well I could communicate, no biggie. The second round, they asked me some Java concept questions, super easy stuff.
