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 general formula for finance clubs is:
Create a subtly pretentious name, a slick website with a placements tab, and impressive bios for the officers. Then aggressively promote on LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. Make sure the application consists of a written application and at least 2 rounds of interviews. People are drawn to clubs that seem exclusive and elite. The moment your club comes off as unserious, your members will stop attending your meetings.
