Prospective Analyst Question..help please!

Hey guys, quick question.. I am an undergraduate entering my senior year, and I plan on taking the CFA Exam I next June. What Series # should I be taking now if I want to be an analyst? I know I need the 86/87 so should I take the Series 7 and 66 now or is the Series 7 only required?

If anyone has anything they could add to my list that I might need as an analyst:

CFA I II III Series 7, 86, 87

Thanks for the help!

63 or 66. 66 is just a combination of 63 and 65. 65 is RIA license.
