Switching to IB associate role from another front office analyst role without MBA; possible?

Will be coming in as a senior analyst (lateral hire) at a top 10 bank in a non IB front office role (corp banking, s&t, cm), but was wondering if it's possible to enter an IB associate program in the same bank without having done an MBA? Has anyone seen this happen before?
