Series 7 or 63?

I recently finished an internship at an asset management firm and I'm going to be applying to banks next year. I got the opportunity to take and pass the SIE and Series 7 exam and was wondering if that covers the Series 63? Should I take the 63 anyway since I'm already this far?

Series 7 Isn't needed for IB

Here's what you need

I see the greatest marginal benefit if you're applying to FT roles (incoming or lateral) because if you already have these knocked out, then the banks don't have to worry about helping you pass these at all. If you're going into your sophomore year, I guess if you're feeling up for it you can take the SIE and Series 63, but they don't make you take those until you start full time anyway.
