Thoughts about getting a Master's Degree and re-recruiting

Hi all,

So I'm a junior at a target school (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc), and I'm in a weird spot. I've currently signed onto the Power & Utilies group of an EB in Houston for the upcoming summer, but I've recently realized that I'm more interested in generalist M&A. I've also been mulling over getting master's degree for one-year after graduation.

If I did this, would I be able to re-recruit? I understand in some ways, this is similar to reneging, but I wanted to weight the pros and cons.
