Any Tips/Advice for Fall 2015 Acceptance into IR Programs?

[BJM]

Hi All,

I'm a 2014 grad from a school with a strict anti-inflation policy where I received a GPA of 2.64. I majored in Criminal Justice with two minors in International Studies and Sociology. I currently work for a Fortune 500 company in a sales role and am planning on returning to school for a Masters in IR for Fall 2015. I am in the midst of applications and am taking a class as a non-degree seeking student this semester to show I can handle graduate level coursework. Additionally, I hope to enroll in ROTC(most likely be for the National Guard) once accepted into a program. My question are there any tips/advice or other actions I can take to help beef up my application and make me more marketable? Has there been anyone else in similar situations and what did you do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone.

Cheers
