Short and Long Term Goals Question

I'm currenlty an IT consultant for a very large company, and I'm applying to the top tier schools for an MBA. As my long term goal, I am stating that I would like to start my own business, a software company. For my short term goal, I am looking to switch careers into i-banking. I plan to use the knowledge of financial transactions and contacts I gain from my MBA and i-banking experiences to help fund my business.
My question is would my long term goal of wanting to start a business preclude me from admission since it is possible to start a business without an MBA?
My other question is my short term goal of switching industries realistic? Would it improve my chances if I were switching to strategy consulting?
Would both of these hurt my application to a top tier school?
Thank you
