Push for GPA (and take out some debt) or load on credits

Hey All -

For context, I have 35 credit hours left and can push to graduate next year without debt or I can take out a semester’s worth of debt and aim for increasing gpa. GPA is sitting at 3.9+ and will be joining a MM IB from a non-target. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
