Career Advice - Currently a high yield credit trader

Hi Guys,

I'm currently a high yield credit trader at a boutique broker/dealer. I have 4 years experience in financial markets and I would like to get out of trading and move into investment banking. I've been out of college for 4 years now and am wondering what's the best way if possible to get into an Investment Banking program? I'm not really concerned with the size of the shop, I would just like to get into IB anyway I can.

Thanks
