London School of Economics summer finance classes

For my sophomore summer, would going abroad for the LSE's finance classes look good on my resume? I see this as more of a last-resort option if I don't get an internship related to finance, but I'm not banking on it because I'm not a diversity candidate and I probably don't have the experience to compete with current juniors. I've been looking at smaller boutiques as well but I don't want to bank on that either. For context, I studied abroad last summer in France (taking french classes), so other than clubs and coursework my resume is lacking in terms of experience in finance.
