Agreed. My experience is on the Windows side of the house, and if I were you I'd go with a Win7 cert. This cert is probably the best one to shoot for first - it should be relatively easy for any first time learner. If you get a nice exam book (not necessarily promoting this one, I liked this series but others have complained, and it's a good place to start your search) you should be able to do well on the exam. Server-based exams would also help you on your way.
Other than that, give it your all in school, as many companies do keep an eye on your GPA.
Took this exam and passed on my first attempt. I used this to help me study.
Which book? I found solid information in this one, but honestly the free video series online did more for my prep. In addition to professor messer there are a couple solid courses on YouTube.
When I say exam guides I mean things like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/MCTS-Self-Paced-Training-Exam-70-680/dp/0735627088 as in the press kit type book.
I have to say though the only reason I probably find that easy is because I have extensive practical experience on the platforms I am taking the exams on. I also play about a hell of a lot in a virtual lab for features I've never played with.
