Early Graduation and Deferred MBA

I am graduating in 3 years from college and doing an internship after graduation. I hope to convert that internship into a FT position. Will this hurt my chances for deferred MBA programs? Is it too risky?

@Linda practically I would be applying with an internship not a FT position like all of the other candidates. I am worried that colleges would see this as an added risk in my application
