How would doing the Wharton/Harvard Kennedy MBA/MPP affect recruiting?

I am not going to get into my application profile except that I know I have a solid chance of getting into the program.

What matters is, how would this affect PE recruiting from MBA versus just a standalone MBA? I will be starting in UMM PE soon for two years. The program is structured in such a way that it's 3 years and you spend year 1 at Wharton, the first half of year 2 at Harvard Kennedy, the second half at Wharton, and the full 3rd year at Harvard Kennedy.

I know I want to come back into UMM or MF PE after the program, and I just want to do the HKS part because I did significant amount of public policy related work as an undergrad. The monetary cost and opportunity cost (lost income) of a 3rd year are worth it to me, but my question is, would this put me at a big disadvantage compared to just a standard MBA at Wharton?
