I am currently a freshman biochemistry and economics double major at CWRU, any way to break into consulting or IB? Should I attempt to transfer to a semi-target/target school? Thought I wanted to be a doctor, but medicine does not interest me as much as finance does.

Maybe you should drop biochem then and focus on econ/finance .
I am still interested in math and science, but just not medicine. Would switching the biochemistry major to something like mechanical engineering or civil engineering and keeping the economics major make me more marketable to top consulting and IB firms?
Engineering will make you marketable to engineering firms. You can go for math and science if you want, but IB/Consulting firms like high GPAs.
Just be sure you can keep up the GPA if you go for a science double major.
It doesn't even have a rep. It's a nontarget that's not even deserving of the title nontarget. Disclosure ~ I got accepted with a scholarship here and considered it a dank meme.
Not to much of a presence imo but an SVP I worked with went there and he has had a great career so far so not impossible to succeed from there
It's rep is a non-target middle of the pack school (kinda crunchy too right?). Keep your GPA up and you can probably go into consulting (maybe try to healthcare). For banking you will need to network like crazy or go to bschool.
