Would Having Programming Skills On Your Resume Help Your Application For IB/S&T?

I have an intermediate skill level in Python/SQL (just from classes I've taken at school) and want to learn Excel VBA because my GPA is average (3.4 at target)...but also don't want to waste my time learning VBA and improving Python/SQL if it won't help me in any, way, shape or form...because there's other things I still have to learn.
