IT consulting -> Top 5 MBA?

Hi guys,

I am wondering if any of you here or have heard of people moving from IT consulting (Accenture, Deloitte, IBM) and getting accepted into the top MBA school (HBS, Wharton, Kellog..etc)? Do people do this alot? What is the likelihood?

The reason I am asking is because I want to move into management consulting eventually. It's either to re-brand myself with MBA or do a lateral(even harder if I want to go into firms like MBB or at least ATK, LEK, etc). I am not sure which option seems more feasible.

Anyone who have done this from a Canadian office as well?

Thanks!
