Undergrad seeking Series 65 or other certifications

First time poster here. Looking to beef up my resume for my next internship, someone suggested the 65 to me because you don't need a degree to take it and am considering doing that or any certification that could be of value.

For background I'm a sophomore in the middle of a 6 month internship at a mutual fund company w/ ~$160B AUM working with performance and consultant databases. I go to Northeastern University (semi-target), concentrating in Finance and Management with a minor in Economics. My GPA is a 3.3 right now but I'm working on getting that up and think I can end up graduating with a 3.5. I'm in my first of three six month long internships (called co-ops here), and really want to make up for my lower end GPA with something that will make my resume pop. Involved in multiple business related extracurriculars, and have taken a Wall Street Prep Financial Modeling Seminar for DCF and FCF. Also have my Bloomberg essentials already.

Not quite sure yet what path I want to go down, but I'm interested in PE, HF, VC, IB, even management consulting. Would love to hear what you guys have to say, thank you.
