Student in process of applying to Investment Clubs, need help

Hello,

I am a freshman who is going to go though the application process for Investment Clubs at my school. The clubs themselves are highly selective, rarely taking over 5-10 people an incoming class.

I am already at a significant disadvantage because the vast majority of those accepted are in the Business Honors program or at least even the Business School, yet I am currently a Liberal Arts student (International Relations, Economics), I plan on using this as a comparative advantage as I have a more unique background than the rest of the applicants; however, I want to whatever I can to appear more competitive and knowledgable in the process. Although I do not know a lot about the field, I have always had an innate curiosity for Finance and Investment. I am asking here for advice on how to get a leg up in the application process and what I can do to be ready. For one of the Investment Teams I need to pitch a stock -- although I have browsed this and many other subs related to investing/stocks, I am still not sure how to proceed and give warrantable reasons as to why this stock is the best option.

Thank you for the help.
