I applied in January and haven't heard back. I am honestly not sure how high my chances are. I grew up moving around West Africa so have some background, but as I am studying biochemistry for my undergrad that already puts me at a disadvantage. My pitch essentially was that I want to study the history of medicine in Madagascar - looking particularly at traditional healers and their influence on how Malagasy women understand reproductive health. It's a long shot, but I'm hoping they like the STEM/anthropology perspective. I guess I'll find out (hopefully) next week.
