Trading and MBA?

What good could a MBA diploma(let's say Wharton, for example) do when you are looking for a trading job?

Do MBA traders tend to perform better/worse than the non-MBA peers?

Do you have any recommendation on which school to attend if you are thinking about trading and hedge fund after MBA?

I would really appreciate honest opinions on the MBA's worth in trading from the industry insiders.
