I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Deloitte (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Deloitte really takes care of its prospective applicants. They held a case workshop at my university to prepare students for the actual interview-- the case given was realistic, and very interactive. The interview itself consisted of 2 thirty minute sessions with senior consultants-- one case, one behavioral. The case is interviewer led, and the behavioral is very thorough in terms of the standard types of questions one might expect to encounter in a consulting internship.
Advice: prepare for cases so you feel comfortable, and know your own experiences well (for the behavioral). Also be sure to communicate your own interest in the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How are some ways we can increase revenue (case question, background information given during the case)?
Interview process was smooth but took time to be scheduled. After the interview, feedback was quick but the interview was rescheduled several times. Interview consisted of behavioral questions with 2 interviewers from the same department.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself. Why this role? Why this firm?
Two step:
one online video assessment with three questions
one live interview with 2 members of the team with ~10 questions
The interview was laid back with mostly behavioural questions asking about my past experience and how I could contribute to the team etc.

What about this team interests you?
Straightforward friendly interviews. Recruiters are helpful and staff are welcoming. The process involved two interviews with a Manager and an MD. They came back with a decision relatively quickly compared to other firms.
