MBA to IB with no prior IB expierence

Hi Monkeys,

I am currently working at a fund administrator and graduated from a non-target in 2022. I realize that I want to be in the IB market, but I know this isn't possible without a MBA. Is it possible for someone with no IB experience to get their MBA at a T10 school and get an internship with an IB over the summer and gain an offer by graduation? Just wondering if it is possible to pursue my dream. Thanks.
