How long have you been living in Maryland? Will you qualify under the Maryland Dream Act? If so, you will pay in-state tuition and fees at the MD community college, and after finishing your Associates degree or 60 credits there you will have in-state tuition and fees at any MD public university. This would be your dead-on safety route.

In the Financial Aid Forum there are several threads on guaranteed merit-based aid. If your GPA is good, your SAT score would qualify you for some of them. Not all are open to international students (which is the category most of those universities would place you in), but some are.

Wishing you all the best!
