Mechanical Engg. @ MIT to a Finance/Consulting firm?

About to start Mechanical Engineering at MIT Manipal. I'm curious about getting placed at financial/consulting firms ( goldman,jpmc, morgan stanley etc) especially since I've seen some LinkedIn profiles.

Two quick questions:

• Is it realistic to aim for financial consulting with a Mech Eng degree from MIT Manipal if I gain the necessary finance skills**?**
• Do financial/consulting firms ever consider mechanical engineers at placement?

Any advice or insights would be awesome!

Thanks!
