Joint degree MBA/MPP

Dear consultants,
I am interested in getting a MPP from Harvard Kennedy School, and any top-ranked MBA program (e.g. HBS, MIT, Wharton).
I understand that for non-Harvard MBA programs, I can apply to them in my 1st year at HKS, but if it's HBS, I have to apply concurrently at the same round.
I am just wondering if there is any possibility that I may only be admitted to either one of the schools? e.g. I only get into HKS.
Would the fact that HBS wants to ding me be factored in HKS' decision on my admission? Or they do the admission process totally separately that they won't know whether I am accepted to which until notification dates???
I feel like I have a higher chance of getting into HKS, but as I still wanna do an MBA, I don't mind doing it at any top-ranked program. Of course I'd try HBS, but I already applied before and got rejected...so just not sure if it's a good idea to still try HKS+HBS...
Please advise!
