I'm a sophomore in undegrad(math/finance undergrad and accounting masters) with a 3.5 GPA. What would be more useful for landing a good internship my junior year summer, accounting or data science? The end goal is IB. Thanks

If the end goal is IB, it absolutely blows my mind that you are even asking this question.
Why? It is given that I have already applied to IB internships; I was wondering about secondary options.
There are no other options dude... and judging by your question... non-target?
I have to disagree with you. Of course getting an IB internship your sophomore year is ideal, but that is not the only way, it's just the preferred way. My college isn't the best but it's a target in Texas and top 40 USNews. Also, you don't have to be rude, just say what you want to say. Thanks for the response.
