Woah can $100k really take you 5-10 years? What are cities you're thinking of?
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.
Several schools like Colgate, Vassar, and BU are dropping their ACT/SAT requirements due to coronavirus, so you might not be completely out of options.
IMO I'd go for a local community college and do the first 2 years there, which is much cheaper. Also schools in EU are cheap/free not mortgage the damn house.
Also you can reapply, it is not the end of the world life for the majority of us is long... I got rejected from all 5 ivy-level biomedcial PHD programs I applied to, barring one with a late application date which I could still get rejected from lol.

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

That describes maybe half of my coworkers.
Many of your peers are starting adulthood with $0. They are about to take on massive debt for a useless degree. All to become an modern day indentured servant to interest payments. For the rest of their life. It makes the old time 7 years of indentured servitude sound like a pretty good deal.
Launch your next company. Invest in your ability to grow capital. Higher education is massively over priced right now, in general. I know firms who have hired lawyers for jack squat to replace paralegals because we have a glut of graduates. Graduates are serving drinks and driving ubers. You have a talent that a college cannot teach. Use it.
Grow your business, fuck college. Also, one little known fact is that you can appeal these rejections. Just write a letter to the head of admissions explaining why you think your denial was mistake, tell them about yourself and your experience.

Does that ever work?
