IB and Resume Advice for College Freshman

Hello,

I am a freshman looking to break into investment banking in NYC. I am seeking advice about what skills I should be working on to have the best shot. I am taking a Coursera Python course and will probably take an excel course as well. I am wondering whether a wallstreetprep financial modeling course and having a stock pitch document is also worthwhile for my resume. I currently have a 4.0 GPA and am involved with a few clubs. Any advice on getting a job or internship for this summer and other steps/suggestions to put me in the best position would be greatly appreciated.
