Does Bridgewater Associates blacklist?

I was thinking of applying for one of the entry level positions at Bridgewater, just for the heck of it. 

Aside from the weird culture, I'm a fan of Principles and the interview process seems odd yet interesting (group debate on a philosophical topic). That being said, I'm not the most amazing candidate from an ivy league school with an extensive debate background, so realistically I doubt I'll proceed very far.

I'd like to, at some point far down in my career (I'm currently a senior in college), try for a more senior position at Bridgewater again....but will Bridgewater blacklist me if I do really bad in the first phone-interview/subsequent rounds?
