If it is not an issue with your schedule, you could plead not guilty and then go to court to make a case for you. You might be lucky and get the fine and number of points significantly reduced (in the eventuality that you transfer your IN license to MD license). You might have a judge in a good mood and ask for leniency in the fine amount.

I got a stoplight violation a few years back in PA (it was yellow dammit) and PA vehicle code has a section where I could basically plead gulity and pay the fine, but not get the points. The condition was you had to get the officer to agree to not dispute this prior to court, most do not because they think court is a complete waste of time anyhow.

MD may have something similar, but it would still show on your record I would think, as would taking the class and the plea.
