Fullbright and Med School

Hey SDN,

I'm currently in the process of applying for a Fulbright research grant for the 2010 - 2011 year in addition to medical school (highly not recommend doing this, taking away time from my secondaries) and I'm curious to know if the Fulbright is something medical schools will let you defer admission to. I'm also wondering if they let you defer, can you defer if you are accepted off the wait list, or is it only for "accepted" students?

- And should I mention that I am applying for the Fulbright or is that something I should leave out, because I feel like it is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I have a friend that deferred for one, but I bet it is pretty school dependent.

I don't know if I would mention that you are applying, because you haven't gotten it yet.

Most schools allow deferrals for "once in a lifetime" awards, such as Fulbrights, Gates, Rhodes, etc.

I highly doubt you'll run into any trouble deferring for something like the Fulbright.
