Target to Grad school?

Has anyone gone from a target to a grad program with the idea of extending recruiting chances? Curious to know if it's possible. Assuming target undergrad to Chicago mfin/MIT mfin. How do you go about networking without a grad school offer letter? (do you not recruit via the general pipeline)

Also, I'm slowly getting super interested in more data sciencey classes, if I were to do a data science masters would ibd/am be completely closed off for me? 

Thanks in advance
