Answer 1

I'm not one to tell someone to not pursue their dreams, but I would go to the international school.  If you go to school, you will always have that education and experience to fall back on.  Trying for the NFL is a long-shot.  Less than 5% of college football players make it to the NFL.  That doesn't even take into account the percentage of HS football players that don't even make it to college football.  If you try for the NFL and don't make it, you better have a solid education to fall back on.  The problem with "student athletes" in American Universities is that they are more worried about the athlete than the student.  Follow your heart, but make sure you think through both options.  Good Luck.

Answer 2

whatever makes you happy.

Answer 3

It seems in the long picture of the future. you would be better off going to the international school - and you can still play sports.  

It is VERY hard to become a successful NFL player and then you would have to delay the CEO dream. Also, I don't know if I have ever seen a 200-250 pound Korean.

Your age would also be a factor to consider.

Good Luck !
