Leaving medicine for MBA, PE

Some background: I attended a mid-tier private undergraduate and graduated with a GPA between 3.92-3.96 in chemistry. I currently attend a top 25 medical school and will be starting my fourth year of medical school soon. I considered leaving after my first year of medical school but was instructed it may be wiser to at least graduate. I am now approaching graduation but I just cannot see myself pursuing residency. Some are instructing me to just finish residency and then pursue the MBA, but I'm not sure I can really do this.  My goal would be to ultimately work in PE or HF, and it is my understanding that one should aim for HSW or M7 programs more broadly for the best chances. I also received a half-scholarship so I do not have exorbitant student loans. I am seeking some advice on my current situation.
