For anyone having the same issue, I got an email back from the UK Fulbright people: "You should follow the UK’s country specific application instructions contained in the UK Fulbright Application Instructions document in order to submit an accurate and complete application for the UK Commission." I.e the country specific instructions override the generic ones on the Embark application portal.

Interesting - they assign people to universities? I thought the emphasis was on applicants researching and choosing the institutions that best reflect/support their particular area of study?

Yes thanks - I already have! The day before I posted here. And no response as yet... I guess calling them is the next option but I know they're a small team and probably very busy at the moment.

Hi everyone Bit of a technical question I'm hoping someone might know the answer to. I am intending to apply for the general Fulbright award to study in the US. I'm coming from the UK and am planning to apply for non-degree study (as I'm already enrolled on a doctorate in the UK). On the Embark online application portal, Q27 (study/research objectives) states "Do not mention specific U.S. universities at which you would like to study." However, in the guidance document produced by the UK Fulbright people it states on page 11, regarding Q27: "Reference the specific universities where you would like to study or have applied to and highlight your top choice " These two pieces of guidance appear to directly contradict each other... Any wisdom on whether to discuss university choice or not? Thanks
