Engineering to MSF

As a junior engineering student at the University of Hawaii , I have become increasingly interested in investment banking. I am considering pursuing MBA or an MSF at a top institution. I know Hawaii is not a target school at all for IB. While I have enjoyed my engineering coursework and the problem-solving skills it has taught me, I feel that investment banking would provide me with a more dynamic and fast-paced work environment. Working with finance and Econ modeling courses have definitely sparked my interest in finance.

I would prefer not to work in engineering after graduation. If anyone has advice or recommendations on the best path to take, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your help.
