<p>I don't know specifically about the school of intl relations, but PSU puts a heavier weight on grades (2/3) than SATs (1/3), which is good news for you. Apply as soon as you can in August. If you're willing, also indicate that you're able to start in summer session (end of June). This also helps with getting in..</p>

<p>From what I've gathered from this link from PSU's website the school of International Affairs sounds like it's a Masters degree (not undergraduate) program: Penn</a> State School of International Affairs</p>

<p>Yeah, it does look like it's a masters program.</p>
