Commercial Lending -> MBA -> Private Banking/Private Wealth Management?

Hi All,

I am currently working as an Underwriter at a BB's Commercial Real Estate Lending unit (BofA, JPM, Wells etc.). My ultimate goal is to break into PB/PWM at a top BB PB/PWM shop such as UBS, GS, JPM. I am trying to get into a top 20 B-School then transition into PB/PWM. I would appreciate your honest opinions if an MBA would help and this transition is realistic.

Thank You!
