Am I right for an MSF?

Hey all, I'm a 25 year old master's of public health student at an Ivy who is trying to break into IB. I majored in biology from Emory with a full ride. When I was accepted to medical schools this past month, I knew that I wanted to do finance. Given my educational history, I am thinking about applying for MSF programs at Vanderbilt and Villanova. The only finance experience I have is an equity research gig this past summer. Do you think I should apply and go to these programs or keep trying to get into a boutique firm? I thought about consulting, but there's no passion for it at all. Thanks!
