roberthesun Welcome to GMAT Club and thanks for your question about how to handle career changing with an MBA Program. The hurdle in your case and in the case of most career changers is to look for ways to leverage transferable skills that will help you reach your post MBA I-banking goal.

Here's an article from US News&World Report about some general information about how experiential learning is becoming a bigger part of the landscape.
