Hey people and experts here,
Need some help.I am from India and 26 years old.My gmat is 700 and have eight years of entreprenurial experience(family business diversification and startup pharma co.)(Started full time business even while studying.)
-Three years commerce degree with 68% agg.
-Advanced French language diploma
-Decent community service.
Rejected at HBS,Wharton and Booth.
Awaiting desicions from MIT Sloan,Kellogg,Nyu Stern,Emory,UNC-KF(interviewed),Tepper,UCLA Anderson and USC Marshall for the fall 2012 intake.
However,I have been admitted to Simon but for the January intake with 10k schol. per year.
What should i do now?I have to pay the enrollment deposit in 2 days and confirm the offer.Considering that I have not recieved interview invites from the schools till now,should I go to Simon while forgetting about the dream bschools(Option 1).
Or,Reapply to Simon(fall intake as they dont defer admissions) while waiting to hear from other schools and also applying to some more of the top 25 in the second round such as Tuck,Columbia,Ross,Cornell and make up my mind for fall(Option 2)
Based on my profile and my case,is the wait and the risk worth it??
Please suggest.
Thanks a ton in advance!!

Think about it this way - you're prepared to drop $160K+ on a business school, does the deposit amount even matter? I would pay the deposit on Simon and be happy. If you get in at a better school that's just gravy. Forfeit your Simon deposit and move on (though hopefully you can leverage your Simon $10k for a scholarship on the other school).

Thanks for the reply sweeces!
I really wouldnt care about the deposit amount like you said but its beyond that!!
I will hear from these schools very late,some in Jan.I wont hear from Stern until Feb. and I have to do the visa process with the Simon 1-20 now if i want to join.Moreover,I think moving from one school to another would be kinda messy just in case i want to.
Its kinda betting on my chances. and i dont see the option of stretching things till I maximum can primarily because its January vs Fall too.
