Using B School to break into Finance for military applicant

I'm a MBA applicant coming from a military background with no finance experience. Is there any significant difference as far as the top 5 B schools go for helping me break into IB or another finance career?

 

I should also mention that I have no finance related degrees up to this point. However, I do have leadership experience from being an officer and I have been deployed to a combat zone.

 

Thanks for the link to the thread. I have one more question, which is how essential is it to have prior finance experience or an undergrad degree in a quantitative field to break into finance in my situation? (prior military, planning to get an MBA)
