Phone interview at first. Then got an email confirmation that I received the position. Didn't have an in person interview.

I applied online. I interviewed at NASA in Mar 2016
Interview
I applied for the position through NASA's OSSI web site for students seeking summer employment. 5 days later I received an interview from an internship coordinator stating that I was being identified as a summer candidate for the specific project to which I'd applied. From there, a phone interview was scheduled for a few weeks later.
The interview itself was quite easy. It had a few technical questions mostly covering entry level chemistry and materials science principles.
A few months later I heard back that I was no longer being considered for the position.
