Should I be investing in the markets if i might want to go to b school?

Incoming analyst and I’m not sure if I want to go to b school. Ideally the answer is no but you never know how things play out. Should I be investing in the market with a potential 4-6 year time horizon for that cash, or is the smart move to stay invested and just take out loans? Can’t really stomach taking out 200K in debt as of now so wondering what others have done.
