Long time lurker, I was fortunate enough to be accepted into a top-tier med school and also recently became semi-finalist for Fulbright independent research. Would deferring matriculation for a year and doing the Fulbright be significantly advantageous when applying for residencies?
 
That assumes a medical school will allow you to defer for an educational fellowship. You should look into to that
I did ask the school during the interview when I disclosed that I am applying for the Fulbright and they said that deferral can be granted
 
It may help for residency. But probably not as much as you think. But more importantly it's a big deal and you should pursue it if you win.
