Blessing in disguise

My presence might be required in US in the months of sept or oct for a duration of 3-4 months. Though i am looking forward to it, I am in a situation where i can't decide how to go a head. Lemme go throught the pros and cons...
Rewards:
-I can get a feel of the enviornment, culture and other things of US before starting my school.
-I can go for school visits. (This i never thought is possible)
-I can meet current students and attend some classes to get the first hand experience of the classes and the whole bschool environment.
-If i am still in US for interviews (if i can get any), there might be a possibilty that i can request them to conduct interview in the school itself. (There might be some advantages of having an interview in the school rather than in other country, but i am not sure of this. experts please comment).
-I can save money and this will help to some extent to finance my mba. (well this should be the first point in the list. it relieves the financial burden to a certain extent)
-Definately adds to my international experience which is lacking in my resume.
-May be i can find some plan B. Infact there is no plan B as of now, but when if everything goes topsy-turvy, It is always good to have a plan B.
-I might get a chance to meet my kith and kin there.

Disadvantages:
-Sept & Oct is the peak time where every applicant is engaged in writing, rewriting essays, submitting recommendations and finally filling the applicaitons and sending them before deadlines. As everyone knows, this arduous task is time consuming and one cannot do this in haste. Every one knows the amount of work pressure one faces when placed on the client side. It becomes very difficult to sneak out (read: time management) and spend time on our essays and apps.
-Difficult to reach my recommenders and to have a tête-à-tête chat explaining my goals to them.(I identified three recommenders, one recommender already knows my plans, but for the other two i will let them know only in mid-august or september. I think they will have enough time to finish their recommendations).
-I might have to put a full stop to the list of activities i am planning to pursue post gmat. (But this is the least of my worries).

The cons look disheartening, but at the same time the pros look appealing.Is it a kind of catch-22 situation i am in..well i donn't know!!! Its time to wear by thinking cap..
