That may be difficult, as you said. But you may qualify for some of these:
Lesley College
Curry College
Dean College
Emmanuel College
Fisher College
Pine Manor College
Regis College
UMass Boston
Wentworth Institute of Technology
Wheelock College
Mount Ida College
All of these are in or very near Boston, and all offer somewhat more flexible admissions than the more competitive schools in the area. Worth it for you to check their websites re: their transfer policies.
You may need to sit out a year and work, if your visa allows**. Then take a few undergraduate level classes at a community college and get good grades (thus proving yourself). Then apply. But check with these schools anyway.
**If your visa doesn't allow you to work, and you're here on a student visa, then forget that. You'll need to enroll in a full time school right away in order to stay in the US. Your best bet will be one of the above schools. Your other option is to enroll full time at a community college.
Have you checked into how you might return to your current school? You're on academic suspension, so normally they want you to sit out a certain amount of time, and then reapply, yes?

It would be difficult if you are trying to start at a 4 year university. If there is a particular university you want to attend, you might check into the junior (2 yr) college associated with that university. Alot of large universities will have a junior college associated with them to help students out who don't have the GPA requirements or don't meet financial aid requirements. You can graduate from the junior college and transfer your credits to the university to continue on towards a 4 year degree.

it would be very difficult to do. I did it as a probationary student for 1 semester and because I did very well I became a regular student afterward.
