Is Wharton Deferred MBA Worth It?

I'm currently a junior about to go to a MF PE SA program. Wharton has come to my school many times to advertise their deferred MBA program. I am considering applying for some of the deferred MBAs – do you guys think it's worth it to also apply to Wharton or just Harvard/Stanford for a deferred MBA? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
