how much does an advanced regents diploma matter?

I started freshman year in New York and then I moved out of state during the middle of sophomore year, and didn’t take all the regents, now fast forward to senior year, I want to apply to Syracuse University and I don’t want to take all the regents necessary for an advanced regents diploma because I want to focus on other activities that could help my application. I just wanted to know how significant is the importance of an advanced regents diploma when applying to Syracuse or any other NY colleges? (I have enough regents to get a regular regents diploma)
