I'm planning to enter the finance industry in a few years and was wondering if there are any certifications I can get while still enrolled in school that would give me the upper hand. The areas that I am interested in are private wealth management, private equity, investment banking, sales & trading, and or venture capital.

Thanks that's a huge help. I'm currently going to Syracuse University which is the #1 school for Veterans and I am already pretty ingrained in the curriculum, but I will see what it takes to get my finance department to join the affiliation program.
See https://www.cfainstitute.org/en/about/universities/university-affiliation . You might want to explore the pros and cons of transferring to a school where you can start work towards the CFA credential.
