Frankly I hate being boring and not adding value by suggesting stern that seems like a fairly stereotypical investment banking school but it does make a good fit in this case.

I also voted for Stern. Location, location, location. My clients have had success switching into IB at NYU from quite unrelated industries.
You might end up spending $15K/year in gas driving through the windy roads and snowy tundra getting to interviews in the city.

If there is any part of you unsure about IB, however, I would make another choice.

Based on client reports, you spend a LOT of time with recruitment at Stern "standing in an awkward circle, advised not to eat or drink anything." lol
It would be wise to line things up in advance (lay groundwork, informational interviews, networking) so you can line up internship and hence do more than recruitment during your precious MBA time.

I recommend also Stern. You will be at the heart of IB action. it is something give you access to the recruiters directly without bothering yourself travelling between cities, if you are enrolled in remote schools.

You could say Investment banking has been dead for about 5 years as an MBA path and only recently it has awaken.

It is definitely a worthy goal and area to pursue but it is highly competitive and greater chances are not a guarantee of success (as Bill Gates realized after moving to an all-girl dorm in undergrad and still not being able to score a date)

It will be a challenging path and demanding one - I would recommend looking at profiles of recently hired candidates at the firms you're likely to pursue and look at their backgrounds and see how you compare and whether you can present yourself in a better light. That'll give you a pretty good idea what kind of qualifications you need to catch their attention. They have no lack of candidates banging on their doors.
