Courses/ Certifications for Undergrad trying to break into REPE/ RE IB

I am currently a rising sophomore at a non-target university, majoring in Real Estate and Finance, looking for any courses or certifications that are relevant and respected in the industry to help my resume stand out as well as to gain experience. I am currently enrolled in and completing the REFM Levels 1,2 and 3 certifications and was also wondering if anyone had any additional input on this.
