Hi I'm a little older than you and I know by the way you wrote this that you're scared of the consequences. Tell your mom that you applied out of state and explain to her that you love her and believe me if she is against it it's because she loves you explain to her what your plans are if she knows you're dreams and see's the excitement it brings you to go after them she will support you through it all, I love my mom and because I was in your shoes once I can tell you that when I decided to be direct with her she has been my main support through these tough times she only want's the best for you and she will grow a new respect for you. Good luck with school and stay focused.
