FMVA as an Undergrad?

Hi,

I'm a junior at Syracuse University studying Economics. I recently bought the CFI self-study option for all the certificates they offer. What would be the best ones to focus my time on? I figure the FMVA is most valuable for someone with work experience thats not in CorpFin. Are there any other courses that would help me get a boost on my resume for recruiters at all? I'm comparing to other undergrads, I know that the FMVA cert doesn't impress people. I'm asking if it stands out compared to other undergrads.
