how could an int. freshman increase his chances at these schools?

<p>“I know being an international exponentially decreases my chances, but I have relatives in the USA who can adopt me and make me a citizen.”</p>

<p>Please consult with a lawyer expert in international adoption before you take this step. It is not a trivial act by any means. If indeed these relatives are planning to adopt you, it may be best to do it sooner rather than later and to complete HS in the US.</p>
