Hey all! Looking for some opinions here. I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer in a Sub-Saharan African country and I'm applying for an ETA position in Senegal. My University's internal deadline for Fulbright is September 15. However, I've also been offered a really cool third year position in my Peace Corps country that would begin in August 2017. So, I have to decide between the ETA position and the third year PC position for 2017-2018. I'm wondering if I should take the PC position and nix my ETA application until next year, or send in my ETA application, see what feedback I get, and then decide (based on a rejection or acceptance) whether to take the ETA position or third year Peace Corps position. At what point does my Fulbright application become 'solid,' as in, I can't withdraw it and reapply next year? If I get accepted to Fulbright and then decline the invite will I be unable to reapply in the future? Thanks!
