After an application that includes my CV, references and a cover letter, will I have to go through something more than just an interview for a PhD position?

My last supervisor (just an associate professor in a cool albeit not very significant bio field, surely no hotshot curing cancer) told me the way he selected his (first and only) PhD student, that shit was a 90 candidates hunger game with multiple fucking stages, like 2 interviews, presentations on their last research, research assignments on a mistery topic... What the FUCK. All this for a 4 years contract where you are paid the country's minimum wage to do unpaid overtime.
Please tell me I won't have to go through this, ain't no way I am getting the job over 90 fucking candidates, not a fucking chance.
