to avoid any ambiguity, there is a difference between penn and penn state. you posted in the penn state board, but referred to penn The law school for penn st. is in upstate pa, it's commonly known as "dickinson" which is not the same as the university of pennsylvania in philadelphia which is known as penn. Penn is one of the top law schools in the country, where as dickison, or Penn St. is more of a regional school. So for international law, i would choose penn, that's of course assuming you can get in there.
