Current non-target MBA; possibilities after going for target Masters in finance?

I’m just curious to know what people think about this route:

I’m at a no name non target business school going for an MBA in finance - I have two semesters left. I love the curriculum and gained a really strong interest in finance and banking - string gpa. Additionally, I’m an analyst on the investment fund and I’m currently at a small family office (re). I’m just curious, would going for a masters in finance at a target be a good move to break into ib as a summer associate?
