Your own guidance counselor can give you the best information about likely admission to UM-College Park, and UM-Baltimore County. That person is also your go-to for information about admission at more selective institutions because your high school has years of data about who was admitted where.

Which county are you in? Your back-up plan could be your own county community college with a transfer program to UM-CP or UM-BC.
How much can your parents pay for your education? Help them run the Net Price Calculator at each college/university website.
Are you first gen in the US, or also first gen for a university-level education? Many of the Nigerian immigrants I know here in Montgomery County have college degrees from universities in Africa.

You say that you are aiming for NMS finalist. What is your testing history on standardized exams? Were you tippy-top every year on the Maryland state exams? That will give you a notion as to whether or not NMS is a reasonable goal for you. Again, your own guidance counselor should be able to help you evaluate this.
