Masters to IB as a career switcher

I am a current senior studying journalism at the University of Minnesota—Twin Cities. I am thinking about switching and getting a masters in Finance out of undergrad. The program allots for a summer internship before finishing the degree. 

As a career switcher, is it possible to get into MM/Elite boutique IB with a masters? I know they look for undergrads, but is it still possible? I would network my ass off.
