MBA/JD post grad?

Target undergrad doing a degree in something quantitative and financial. Is pursuing a deferred MBA/JD at an HYS worth it? I've always dreamed of going to HBS or HLS, especially since it seems like its necessary to go into leadership, but I don't know if the educational/networking benefit outweighs the experience I'd get in the time lost. I'm aiming primarily for HF, but PE and PC are equally as attractive, and I'd take any role in IB/consulting. As you can tell, I haven't gone through recruiting and gotten my dreams beat out of me yet.
