Top MFin Before IB

Hi guys, I’ve noticed a huge tier difference between top MFins (princeton, mit, etc) and a lot of the rest but a lot of the top MFins still place in Investment Banks. If you did a Princeton MFin and decided you wanted to do IB instead of trading / quant / Corp finance, would you come in as an Analyst or an Associate similar to MBAs?
