Invest in Roth IRA or Save For B-School?

Hi, I'm 28 years old and keep reading about how I should have maxed out my Roth IRA(put in $5k a year). However, I may apply to business school(which costs ~160k not adjusted for inflation) in 2 or 3 years. Should I bother putting money into a Roth IRA or just save up for business school? I have already maxed my company match for the 401k. Thanks in advance.
