CorpFin —> IB transition

I’m a raising senior majoring in finance at a non-target. Thinking about doing corporate finance for 2-3 yrs then going back to school for an MBA and network my way into IB. Just wonder how many folks here have taken this route and if it’s common. All advices are welcomed.
