Hey, so I was offered a CDP position as an analyst in Accenture starting this fall, but today I just found out I got the Fulbright scholarship to be an ETA in Thailand for a year. It’s an honor of course, and I’m thinking about asking my recruiter if I could delay my Accenture start date for a year. Would it be worth it to do so? Is it even possible?

Would tell them and be open about it. You should absolutely not give up the Fulbright, it will open up so many doors and be a badge you’ll wear your whole professional life. Accenture is a great firm, but now worth giving that up. If anything, they’ll probably want you even more once you return (though even better opportunities might come up for you before). Congrats!!!
