You will not get into an analyst program at any of the bulge brackets or highly reputable firm. They have their whole process and do not deviate from it unless you are the child of someone very powerful. They farm from specific (usually Ivy League) schools.

I wouldn't go so far as this. I've seen a few engineers get a MBA and end up at top firms. However, they're basically starting off from a scratch and at a huge disadvantage to their peers who started off in banking right out of undergrad. They aren't going to be even mid-mgmt and really then to me there engineering degree and all that time working as an engineer is now a waste.
Now the title of this thread is "finance" which doesn't mean banking. Investment Banking is a very specific area of finance. If you have an MBA with an MS in engineering you should be able to get some stellar mid mgmt strategy/marketing/finance whatever roles at an actual firm making/selling things.
