Relevant Courses/Certifications to complete while in undergrad? Am I lost?

I’m a junior, going to a non target. I will have completed Bloomberg Market Concepts, Factset Certifications, and SIE as a part of my courses. Currently have a 3.5 GPA and Internship for the upcoming summer. I am looking to go into Trading (derivatives, options, equity’s, etc.) Outside of my classes what should I be doing ? Should I start with my Series 6, 7, 66, etc. or courses on here, Wall Street Preps, Getting a Python/java certification, CFA certification, or just studying for my level 1 cfa? Looking for any advice to make sure I am getting ahead or staying on track.
