Pivoting into consulting

Hi everyone. I'm a rising junior at a HYPSM school. I just realized I don't want to do SWE, which I've spent the last 2 years preparing for (CS Major) and wanted to pivot into consulting to target MBB, with an eventual transition into PE after 2 years. I originally wanted to do IB but missed the deadlines for it and am interested in business / finance. Is it too late to target MBB for SA or FT roles? I also have the option of taking another year to get my masters if needed to get more time to recruit.
