Advice on starting a finance club in college?

I am currently a community college student, and I am trying to boost my application because I apply to schools next year. My GPA is not great for a computer engineering major (3.4), and I want to attend UCLA. To help myself, I want to start a finance club hoping it can make my application look better. I eventually want to get a masters in MFE, so it is also relevant to my future. Any tips or general advice on how to start a meaningful club that can be successful? Thanks.

 

First and foremost, how knowledgeable in finance are you? No one will want to join, let alone stick around if the founder/president is a dullard.

The important thing is never to let oneself be guided by the opinion of one's contemporaries; to continue steadfastly on one's way without letting oneself be either defeated by failure or diverted by applause.
