Take Golf/ Tennis To Boost GPA In Spring

Should I take PE classes in the spring (ie golf, tennis, yoga...) to graduate Cum Laude? I have already fulfilled all of my graduation requirements and by taking these joke classes would be guaranteed A's for little work and thus would have a sufficient GPA.

Information to Note:
-I go to a non-target school
-Sitting for Lvl. 1 CFA in June
-Middle office BB job analyst after graduation
-Cost (I go to a private university and would be given my tuition cost by parents to trade with)

Thanks for your input

 

I thought PE classes were always pass/fail......obviously I'm missing a trick here.

I Am Batman:
I'd take those courses to bring your 3.45 to 3.5. Even if you amp it up to a 3.46, you can round up.

3.5 is usually the cut-off for a good GPA.

You can round a 3.45 up to a 3.5 anyway.
