How important is relevant coursework?

 I'm in econ/poli sci at a semi-target, I haven't taken many econ classes at all (only 36 credits required) and I am trying to inflate my GPA as much as possible this fall before I apply for 2028 SA roles. Do recruiters ask you about this? Does it matter? I was thinking I could put all of the harder classes off as I am taking non-major courses this sem to get a 4.0. (cumulative as of now is (~3.2), a 4.0 first sem brings it to 3.5 ish.
