The best way to demonstrate interest in finance is to apply to finance jobs.

I would target firms that work in the healthcare/pharmaceutical space. They'd appreciate your background for sure.

Get an internship and start building experience. You're starting with a STEM degree, strong focused extra curriculars, and a high GPA, it's not a bad place to be in.

Read and immerse yourself in it. Read the finance parts of WSJ every day. It won't make sense at first but the more you read it the more you'll begin to understand. It's beginner friendly. Read books, there's tons of threads with good ones. Investopedia is really strong for looking up concepts you run across.

I can't comment on the CFA and resume placement but if you can do L1, you'll learn a lot that way as well.

I know you said you’re at a non-target, see if you can reach out to alumni in the industry and see if they have any pointers for you.
