I will apply to PSU as a ED applicant. I am an international student from non-English speaking country. I took the TOEFL and got a 88 due to test center’s awful equipment and uninformed organizators (25/19/19/25). The registration fee for that test is 160$. But this doesn’t matter. What matters to me is that I have SAT I in May and SAT II in June. Those 4 exams (sat i; math I; math II; physics) do require a lot of preparation. My question is can 88 TOEFL points be a reason between acceptance and rejection?

P.S I have a very good GPA and I don’t need any fin. aid.
