Technical Behavioral
Applied through college career board. Waited a week before hearing back from a recruiter. Scheduled a phone interview with an analyst before being sent to super day in SF. The first round analyst seemed really uninterested in what I had to say, questions seemed to be straight out of the book with no real variation and did not build off of my responses. It was fairly technical.

Behavioral Technical
I applied through my school's career services and then got a call from a recruiter. They set up my first phone interviews. Apparently, this is the first year they are hiring summer associates, as they used to only hire summer analysts. I had two 30-minute phone interviews with associates, one in SF and one in NY. The questions were a mix of fit and technical.
