Reason for pursuing an MBA

For all of you that have got interviews at top 10 b schools or have attended, what was your reason for pursing an MBA, i mean what did you say in your application ?

I am considering Yale SOM silver scholars/HBS 2+2/ and other similar top 30 MBA programs, I am currently at a top 30 undergrad b school majoring finance, looking at IBD upon graduation. If admitted i would defer for 2 years, and do an analyst stint.
