Can I become an Investment Banker graduating from a top tier B-school with NO relevant experience in finance?

Can I become an Investment Banker graduating from a top tier B-school with NO relevant experience in finance?

I have a B.S. in Industrial Engineering and currently working as a Supply Chain Management Consultant at a reputable consulting firm. My plan is to get an MBA in finance and corporate strategy, to acquire solid finance education, but my experience is mostly in Supply Chain. I want to break into banking Post-MBA, and would like to know if I have a legitimate shot at doing so, even without finance experience. I might be able to gain 3-4 months of finance experience at an internship-which is required at most top-tier business schools. Please help.

1. a b-school grad
2. yes, provided you do your summer internship at a bank. make sure you show a lot of interest in I-banking as soon as you enter school. it's all about schmoozing and networking honestly.
