Accept EDHEC or repeat one year?

For context I'm a student in french preparatory classes for engineering schools and today I was accepted to the EDHEC "programme grande école" (MiM) through parallel entrance exams. However I kinda failed my Centrale Supelec entrance exam which means that if I want to retry, I need to take another year and I'm not even sure to get it.

As someone who aims for M&A and PE, would it be better to accept my EDHEC offer and grind or retake one year and try for Centrale Supelec?
