To be brief, the MF PE funds that recruit undergrad interns are well-known and have relatively structured recruiting processes (Insight, Bx, Ares), but it's hard to come across firms outside of the largest that also recruit interns (both sophomore and junior undergrad interns). Audax, Altamont, and StepStone are some I've come across, but I was wondering if anyone knew about more firms across the US that do this.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there are indeed several Private Equity firms that recruit undergrads. Some of these include:
Remember, these firms are highly competitive and often look for top-performing students from well-regarded schools. So, keep your grades up, network effectively, and make the most of the resources available to you. Good luck, future PE star!

Insight and Ares are not MF
del
Given their AUM I’d say insight is MF.
Anyone broaching 100bn AUM is MF in my eyes
GIP
GTCR
Aquiline, Stellex, TriSpan, MDP
The Riverside Company hires undergrads but the process is different for their flagship MM/UMM buyout fund (RCAF) and their LMM fund (RMCF). They have relatively structured recruiting processes and training programs similar to BB/EBs.
RMCF hires undergrad interns every year and many of them return to become full-time analysts.
RCAF works on larger and more complex deals so they only occasionally hire undergrad interns (usually upperclassmen with IB experience / offers) and only hire full-times at the associate level out of IB.
berkshire partners has a pe internship for diversity
So does Advent. Although I don't know if it's considered MFPE and OP already knows about it
Advent is def an MF so assuming the poster knows about it
Cdn funds do (Altas, Brookfield, Onex). However dont think they hired any non-canadian interns
Would add Graham partners. I’m not sure if they have an internship program but One Rock Capital takes on analysts. Would also add Roark Capital in Atlanta
Hill Path does regularly (partners are ex-Apollo, have a very thoughtful investing framework)
Apollo also takes undergraduate interns now, I've seen a bunch on LinkedIn from Wharton/Cambridge
