In my opinion, I'd say go for Bridgewater. Not sure about IMC, but Optiver gives out exams. I'd rather not take exams during the summer during my internship; however, you can't go wrong with either. I would imagine you would have a higher probability of receiving a return offer from Bridgewater than a prop shop as well.
