INSEAD Deposit

I just borrowed $10k from a family member to pay the massive deposit required by INSEAD to secure my spot. INSEAD gave me a EUR 10k scholarship. I was also admitted to UMichigan Ross (no scholarship) and CMU Tepper ($20k/yr scholarship).

I'm interested in transitioning to a career in cleantech/social enterprise (from NGO/research/small consultancy).

Two questions:
1. There's no way I made the wrong decision to attend INSEAD right?
2. Do any of you without savings have experience on how you paid your first INSEAD installment (required before loans are available)?

I think I thought this decision out really well. It just always feels crazy to pull the trigger on such a large decision like this.

Thanks for your words.

considering your desired field, UMich and Ross (regardless of the 20k from Tepper) have absolutely nothing over INSEAD i would argue that that INSEAD is the best choice of those three, but even if i'm wrong, i think even fans of the other two would have a hard time proving that ross or tepper have a comparative advantage in the clean tech/ social enterprise field
