Dilemma - please help

I applied to some safety schools among S16 in R1 and got in at 2, waitlisted at 1. Darden gave me half scholarship but obviously not my preferred school.

R2 I applied to 6, HBS GSB Wharton Sloan CBS Yale
Already interviewed with HBS and will interview with Yale soon, still waiting for the others

Should I pay the $2000 deposit and keep the Darden option while I wait for the others?

yeah keep your options open

Darden seems to be your best option at this time. If you want to be in business school you need to make your deposit. If you are accepted to another program, presumably 'better,' then you will sacrifice the deposit.

Good luck.

Yes, pay the deposit.
But damn S-16? Trying to sneak ucla in?

This might be philosophical but wanted to understand if we should get satisfied and be happy with what we have or keep striving for more?

Reason I am asking this is - I earn close to 1.5 lakhs every month and if someone had told me this during my college days I would have taken it eyes closed thinking this is more than enough. But today, I am not able to be satisfied and I don't want this to become an affliction so thought to share with others here and get to know the general sentiments.
