ADVICE NEEDED: Deferred MBA program after IB Analyst Stint.

Hi All-

Was considering Deferred MBA programs. I am a senior undergrad who interned within an IB group at a BB and will be returning full-time this summer. Was wondering what others thoughts are on Deferred MBA programs - especially for a college senior who will be an IB Analyst after grad. A lot of these deferred programs allow me to work a while before i begin the MBA program so my thought process was stick a few years in IB (2 or maybe even more as an associate).

Any idea how your friend his/her crafted story? I thought deferred mba weren’t really for mainstream finance types
