IB Associate with only 2 years experience?

Admit to the deferred MBA program at MIT Sloan and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on matriculating with only 2 years of WE. Currently working in strategy and really just want to get my post-MBA goal ASAP since the hours are no joke and I would much rather get to the other aspects of my life sooner rather than later.

I ain't looking to get something wild like PJT RSSG or Qatalyst and I am not looking to go into PE; I'm just looking to do IB at a mid-tier BB, and top-tier BB if I can swing it(no hate towards MMIB). 

Thanks for y'all input

have seen it's more common for BB than EB, Sloan is a fantastic MBA should get you where u want (interviews), especially since you are not looking for top groups at top banks.

You'll need to demonstrate more during the processes tho.
