Application Process?

<p>Hello everyone! </p>

<p>So due to family circumstances, I will be living at a country outside of the US and be home-schooled/online school. However, I am currently in 11th grade at a public school (in America) and that means I will soon apply to a university/college (yeah, not good timing). In my case, I will definitely be applying to the ones in the US. </p>

<p>Does anyone know the steps to applying to universities/colleges for cases such as mine? Because I do hold a US citizenship, yet living in a different country while being home-schooled makes the application process a bit confusing. Should I get my school transcripts and recommendations ahead of time? And I don't think I qualify as an international student since I am a US citizen. </p>

<p>I know that some colleges have different approaches, but I hold great great great great great great interest (if you haven't noticed yet) in Tufts University.</p>

<p>Thank you for the help (:</p>
