Application
I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Mar 2012
Interview
I applied for the ITDP through my university's career site. I also applied on Capital One's site. The Capital One application consists of the standard personal info, job history, questionnaire, etc. The next step was a on-campus interview with a recruiter. All of the questions were behavioral, a little bit about yourself and your resume. After that they invited me to Richmond for an on-site interview. There were about 20 people participating in that. The night before the interview there was a reception in our hotel where we met current employees, asked questions, and they told us a little bit about working at Capital One. The next day we went to their campus. There was a tour of the facilities, we met some more people that work there, and then there were 3 1-on-1 interviews. One was behavioral, one was a job fit interview, and one was a case study. Don't be too concerned if you do not breeze through the case study, they're more interested in how you approach the problem and try to work it out. Just try to stay calm because the problem may not be that hard but the presence of the interviewer may add pressure.

Question 1
1 million card applications. $1 per application cost to do employment verification. 96% pass verification and get a card. 4% fail and do not get cards. Given average profits on cardholders in good standing, and average losses on accounts that default, find the % of denied cardholders that would have to default in order to justify the $1 per application verification cost .
The interview process was very detailed and extremely organized. I had one interview through campus recruiting and then was called for three more interviews at the Capital One campus in Richmond. The three interviews were very easy, the first being behavioral, second was a simple logic based question for the case interview, and third was an interview to see where I should be placed.

Interview
Got a phone call from a recruiter who asked me to apply online. I did and within a week they scheduled me for a behavioral interview on my college campus. Interview was very standard. They focus only on a few real behavioral questions and mostly background. The next day they told me I had moved on to the final round on their main campus.
The super day was pretty standard. 3 interviews. 45 minutes each. Behavioral was extremely straightforward. 3 'Tell me about a time' questions. Prior to the interviews I was under the impression the Job Fit was the easiest of them but I think they are changing their procedures. Job Fit was actually pretty technical. If you're applying to do software be ready for some data structure and general programming logic questions. For me, job fit was the most difficult. The Case interview was really straight forward. My case was not particularly difficult as far as math goes but if you rush through it you're bound to make a mistake. 45 minutes is a long time. My advice would be to go slow and make sure you're doing it correctly.
Heard back from them a few days later with an offer! They are really good about making the entire process quick.
