CBYX participants come from a wide range of backgrounds and career fields.  One aim of the selection process is to put together a group of participants that represents the diversity of the United States, including diversity among career fields. As such, there is no “typical” participant.  The list below is by no means exhaustive, but represents career fields of CBYX participants in recent years.  All applicants should have some relevant internship, work, or volunteer experience in their career field.
