Baloch Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 My Deadline is tomorrow Monday April 11th. I have received the Fulbright Foreign Student grant to study masters in cultural anthropology at Rutgers NB University. On the other hand, I have an admission offer from Cornell University for a similar program funded by a local grant. The deadline to answer Fulbright is tomorrow Monday! What would strengthen my application for PhD programs: an Ivy school masters with no-name scholarship or mid-level school masters with Fulbright? Your thoughts?

KaffeeCafe Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I would say definitely Fulbright. Neist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulpix Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I would also say Fulbright would be more impressive, unless Cornell has a lot of significant research opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini monkey Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hi, I am in anthropology as well. I would say Fulbright with Rutgers; Rutgers has a really nice program. Cornell was rated a little bit better for their Anthropology program, but they're both in really similar spots on the ranking chart (PhDs.org). Fulbright will look wonderful on your CV as well. But you have to also consider research fit, how you like the department, etc. I saw your other post in the anthropology subforum. It sounds like you are learning towards Cornell. Ultimately, this is your decision and you should do what you think is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
