BIWS on resume for non target

I am currently a sophomore at a non target relatively large state school in NC. I have a 3.48 gpa right now but that is changing this semester as I currently have a 3.82. I understand I need a higher gpa than 3.48 if I even want a shot in IB. My question is would it be beneficial for me to get certified from BIWS to put on my resume? I already have begun to build my network and I am personally friends with a couple MD’s. I understand I may get more technical questions in an interview but that is the least of my worries. I would obviously love to get into a BB bank but I understand that is probably not likely. I am perfectly happy going MM or even boutique(at least for the first couple years). Given that information, would it help at least a little bit on my chances??
