I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at MIT (Cambridge, MA) in Jun 2012
Interview
GRE, TOEFL and application, with a phone interview. The process is quite similar to other university application in general. Although the references from your college might play a good part.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MIT (Beirut) in Aug 2015
Interview
It was really a great interview process. The people there are wonderful and are not overly serious nor are they overly lax in the interview process. The interview tends to be more conversational than an interrogation, which helps in keeping you relaxed. Although, come in knowing your stuff because there will be an expectation of at least basic knowledge of what they do in the region and how they get their work done.

Interview
The whole process was sloppy once my application was sent to the Hiring team. They never replied to my follow up emails. Leaving me with an impression that they are rude and best that I am not their peer.
