What certifications can I get done in school to boost my chances at getting internships?

I'm from a non-target in the South East studying Finance, with a minor in something that's adjacent to Statistics (debating going for Data science but it'd push my graduation back), decent GPA. I have an internship for the Fall semester lined up at a local branch of a Fortune 500 firm in the Finance department. What certifications or exams can I take to increase my chances of getting an internship? So far I've completed the Bloomberg Market Concepts, but I feel like that's nothing. Before the end of the year, I'm planning on taking:

  • SIE 
  • Series 63

What else can I take to bolster my resume? Is there something in Python or C++ I can go for? Any other FINRA qualification? 

For IB
