Thankfully, I have admitted both schools.
Korbel offers me merit scholarship but I am not sure that Korbel is also good program for international student.
As you know, UCSD is specialized in Pacific Area and also has good professional program.
I am international student and my longer-term goals are flexible, depending on the career path.
I would say my ultimate goal is to become an outstanding academic in my field...to keep teaching and working on my research.
I want to know advantage and disadvantage of each programs.
I think there seem to be little difference in tuition because Korbel offers scholarship.
Without scholarship, Korbel direct tuition > UCSD tuition.
And also, as far as I know, UCSD is more professional specialized school than Korbel.
