You should maintain your status until September 30, 2009. better to go to school for the period of May 16 2009 to September 30, 2009.
Another option can be - once the company applies for H-1B in April, tell them to process for CONSULAR PROCESSING. Try spending another $1000 for premium process which will ensure your H-1B decision within 15 days. That way you can leave the US before May 15, 2009 with possibly an approval. Stay at home until September 20, 2009 and come back with a new H stamp.
Be careful with the "suspicious" H sponsors which may later bench you. There are hundreds of benching cases with Department of Labor.
For your convenience, you can see a list of all H sponsors of 2007 here:
