. Here are your options.
If you have already applied for H1, and are waiting for the decision, then you can stay here on the basis of that application. However, I don't know if you can or cannot work.
Another option is to apply for the school session beginning January. The US law allows you to stay for 6 months in the US if you have your I-20 in hand. For example: let's say you apply to a school and get an I-20 next month, which is October. Then, according to the law, you have the right to stay in the US until your school starts. The legal right to stay here if you manage to get an I-20 is 6 months. By that time, your college would have started and you can start attending the college. No need to go out of the country.
I suggest you to ask other people with more knowledge on immigration laws. For example: call and ask you previous international advisor from your school.
