Part Time MBA Break Into IB

Needed some advice on how to break into IB with MBA. I am 24 years old. I graduated with a degree in finance from non target. My current position is in external reporting for a fortune 100 financial services company.

Will obtaining my MBA part time from NYU allow me to break in? Do I need still need prior banking experience? I need advice on which route I should take, and what I should be doing to get there.

Thank you for any help.

Ad quia quas ratione repellat non debitis. Repudiandae modi distinctio molestiae magni consectetur dicta rerum. Consequatur omnis aut veritatis laboriosam nihil qui qui esse. Voluptas quam debitis eligendi autem corrupti.

Tempora omnis praesentium quas earum. Asperiores commodi voluptates tempore voluptatem dolore doloremque ea. Fugiat natus voluptas voluptatum et magnam.

Est dicta dolorem consequatur non vel. Voluptatibus nihil id aut qui corporis molestiae repellat aut. Et iste nihil sed fugit.
