Next step advice

I'm an Asian American rising sophomore male at a target university. I recently decided I want to recruit for IB. I have no finance clubs/application hook, and I only recently acquired a very BS research assistant role. My finance knowledge is pretty meager, but not abysmal. 

What would you say the next steps are/what would you guys do in my position, and on what timeline?
