I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Teach for America (New York, NY) in Aug 2012
Interview
I applied through the TFA website, and was contacted 12 business days later for a phone interview. The phone interview went very well (lasted about an hour). I followed up with my interviewer twice over the next two weeks, but never received a response. Finally I emailed the generic HR representative who finally let me know the position had already been filled.
I do wish the woman I interviewed with would have let me know during the 2+ weeks after our conversation the position had already been filled.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Several questions surrounding the TFA values, and which ones I personally identified with, etc. The one question that threw me was where else am I applying for jobs (because I had just started the job search). The interviewer did make it clear the salary range, and that there would be no room for negotiation.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Teach for America (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2010
Interview
Three tier interview. Long written application, including references. Followed by a phone interview, culminating in a 4 hour, practice class (where you teach a lesson), watch a video and comment, round table discussion, and 1 on 1 interview with the host.

Interview
You undergo a stage process. Once you sign up for an account online, you complete the online application and then wait. If your application is approved, you'll be invited to a phone interview which you'll schedule a time for. The phone interview is easy - they ask about what you do and how you keep yourself organized. If they like yyou, you'll be invited to an in-person interview. The in person was straightforward. Group interview. Sample teaching lesson. Individual interview. Then they will let you know via email if you're in.

Question 1
They ask in the individual interview you have in person what you'd do in a specific scenerio. The senerio i got was about a school district I wanted to start an after school history club in but there was no money. So you have to convince the principal (the interviewer) why you should have the program.
