If you work for a university would it be easier to get accepted in their MBA program?

Hi guys,

I was approached by a recruiter who is looking to hire a financial analyst for harvard/stanford in one of their important departments. There is no way i'd swap my career in IB for this role but it got me thinking if it might be an opportunity to leverage towards their MBA program or another masters program? I came from a non-targ and really haven't the slightest clue about how applications/business school works so answers are appreciated.

Thanks.
