Who can apply?
- Bridgewater's 2027 posting does not publish a universal class-year, current-enrollment, degree or graduation-window rule, so applicants should not infer eligibility from the word internship alone.
- The official application requires education history, expected graduation year, undergraduate GPA and a current academic transcript.
- The application asks separately about United States work authorization, present or future sponsorship needs and visa status; the reviewed page does not state that one answer automatically disqualifies an applicant.
The compensation is a total for an eight-week internship, not an annual salary, and the posting's lack of a published class-year rule is not proof that every undergraduate is eligible.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
The internship asks participants to form a macroeconomic or market view and translate its logic into data and mathematical expressions. Practice one causal argument in that sequence: identify a change in the economy, state the mechanism you think connects it to a market, name evidence that could contradict you, and outline how you would test it. This is our preparation suggestion, not a disclosed interview question.
Bridgewater invites an existing writing sample and explicitly says it need not be about macroeconomics or finance. Choose work that shows a clear claim, evidence and revision under uncertainty; do not manufacture a new market essay just to sound specialized. Be ready to explain what evidence would make you change the sample's conclusion.
