Why NOT everybody should apply for this scholarship?

Fulbright scholarship is the best scholarship if you have intention to return in Pakistan and have some plan to develop a business, consultancy firm or do some job in more challenging environment for your personal interest as well as Pakistan interest. But if you want to do some jobs in US or somewhere else immediately after graduation, this scholarship is not for you. You’ll get no short-cut after your graduation, and hence immediately have to come back in Pakistan. Moreover, you’ll not able to enter US within 2 years after completion of Masters degree program and within 5 years after completion of PhD degree program from US under the agreement of Fulbright Scholarship.

Moreover, the chances to get admitted in your desired university is very low. Even if you feel quite sure to get admitted to a specific university, Fulbright team is not bound to apply your application to your desired university. The team will see their own expert knowledge and will apply to that university where they think best suits for you. So if you want to apply only to a specific university, you should rather apply separately.
