MBA or Masters finance graduate program?

I’m currently a junior at a non-target. I want to break into IB but was too late in finding an internship for this upcoming summer. So I will be going into my 4th and final year (science major) without any internships, I’m assuming it won’t be possible to land a analyst job without internships? I’m wondering if that is the case, should I go into an MBA program or a finance graduate program? I currently have a 3.9 GPA so will be able to get into these programs likely. Thanks for any advice for breaking into investment banking!
