I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Navy (Washington, DC) in Apr 2015
Interview
Very structured. The interview was for a NUPOC program and it was indeed very challenging. You have to be interviewed by the admiral's staff initially and also the admiral himself at the end.
