Breaking into trading side of S&T

Just a quick background, go to semi-target/target school with a 3.85-3.9 GPA, finance and economics double major. Applied to some S&T programs and it seems that whenever I talk to people they automatically seem to think that I'm going into the sales side. So I'm wondering how it might be possible to instead do trading given my non math/non engineering background. Don't want to sound arrogant or cocky, but I've always done excellent in my math classes and am great at solving mathematical problems, I just chose finance and economics cause those are subjects that truly interest me. So is there hope to go into trading? And if so, what courses/computer languages/other steps should I learn/take?
