Consulting to Healthcare IB transition

Hey folks, 

I have worked for 3.5 years in T2 Consulting in EU (3 years as consultant, 0.5 years as associate); My experience is within healthcare/ private equity group with almost exclusive focus on buy-side commercial transaction DDs/ development of value creation opportunities/ etc. Typical projects are 4 week DDs with mid-market EU PE firms with follow-up opportunities, if applicable

Recently I got into non-HSW M7 MBA; Part of my MBA goal is to transition from EU healthcare consulting to USA IB (with hopes of PE, albeit that is, of course, unlikely); I would appreciate the advice with the following:

1) Given my profile, would you see it as feasible that I can network into pre-MBA IB internship? Are there any specific banks that you can recommend for healthcare IB that are favorable for such non-traditional candidates? 

2) I have pretty solid finance background, but it is definetely very consulting DD-focused (i.e., solid practical knowledge of M&A processes, limited technicals like DCF models). How long should I prepare for pre-MBA IB interviews/ are there any courses that can be recommended?

3) Is it a viable path to get into IB, get VP title, and then transition to PE-funds or is it too late? I am aware that consulting --> PE is almost impossible esp. if you dont want to end up in ops. 

Thank you for any advice
