I’d say you have two options:

1. Look into universities in Continental Europe. Most are free or have low tuition and will still give you a solid education. I recommend somewhere in Germany, Austria, Sweden or the Netherlands. Depending on the city, $100,000 will cover your expenses for 5-10 years.

2. Spend the next year prepping for the SAT. Hire a private tutor, sign up for courses, etc. Then get a high score and reapply next year.

Woah can $100k really take you 5-10 years? What are cities you're thinking of?

In Austria, you can get a single appartment for 400-600€. A room in a shared flat can be even cheaper. So with 100000$ you can indeed survive for 10 years or live comfortably for 5 years. This mostly applies to Germany as well, although certain cities (like Munich) are rather expensive.

Most smaller university cities in Germany and Austria are very inexpensive. Leipzig, Heidelberg, Kassel, Münster for example. Even Vienna or Berlin are not too bad if you are okay living further out and with roommates.

But I think very few courses in Germany are offered in English at the Bachelor's level.

Eh, I wouldn’t say very few. Depends on the subject and many merely require that you learn German within a year of attending. This design school, for example, is mostly in English:

In some cities for $100k you can buy your own apartment and have some money to spare.
