MBA to Structuring with no prior finance experience

Hey, Just curious as to how feasible it is to break into FX Structuring (or any type of structuring at all) at a BB with excellent performance in a reasonably quantitative top MBA e.g Chicago Booth (Concentrations: Analytical Finance, Economics & Statistics)

Is this transition possible for someone with a non quantitative background and previous experience in the consulting arm of a big 4 firm.

I'll appreciate your feedback on this.
