FDD -> MBA -> Investment Banking

I've been working at a Big 4 firm in TAS (Transaction Advisory Services) for about 2.5 years now - straight out of undergrad as an associate, and was promoted to senior associate this year. I'm planning on applying to business schools to use an MBA to pivot into investment banking as an associate. Does anyone know if my years of work experience would disqualify me from doing so? I'll have 3 at matriculation. Thanks!
