Healthcare IB Analyst - Good target to break into IB?

Hi all,

Intro:
I'm looking to break into IB as an analyst after my masters degree, and I'm wondering if I have a very good chance coming off t1 Euro Business School + 2 years exp. in f500 healthcare finance.
 

Background: 30 M, Starting T1 European masters soon (think INSEAD/LBS/HEC), 2 years experience in f500 MedTech/Pharma as financial analyst (FP&A)

Body:
I realize that the main limiting factor is being 30. Most analyst roles are filled with 24 yr olds. But I'm wondering if I still have a decent shot given my profile, and if I position myself for a healthcare IB analyst role given my background in healthcare FP&A. 

Goals: BB and EB would be great, of course. But MM would also be fine with me, with a chance to lateral to EB/BB in the future.

Is this very possible or am I better off aiming for a different strategic finance role (corp dev./strat. and the likes)?
