I’m a junior who got accepted to the breakthrough teaching fellowship in silicon valley for this summer. My parents wanted me to find out about its impact on college apps- I absolutely love teaching and I know I will enjoy this program but am NOT an education major nor am I interested in becoming a teacher at this moment. Will this fellowship add any value to my college apps- I just want to know because I have 50+ hr work weeks so it needs to add some value for more than 400 hours of my time for very little pay. If I’m interested in majoring in economics, would it be much better to try to get a research internship at a college in the summer or would this still be okay?
Also, can anyone tell me about their experience working in the breakthrough fellowship (in San Jose/ Silicon Valley)?
