Classes for PE?

For reference here, I'm going into IB and hoping to move into PE and I'm trying to choose between 2 courses for undergrad. The first goes in depth on investment strategies and would be better for PE, but it will almost certainly lower my GPA (hardo professor). The other class is called RE Finance with an easy professor and will go in depth on credit financing, but I'm not sure if/how that'll transfer given it's RE specific. 

It's also my 2nd semester senior year so I would love to chill and be a degenerate while I have the time. Any thoughts?

 

These classes are hardly ever useful, and I went to Wharton with a bunch of "relevant" finance classes that ended up just being useless. You'll learn more on the job and during training. I mean, they're interesting don't get me wrong, but once there are exams, group projects/cases, assignments, etc., the focus becomes more on trying to get a good grade instead of learning what you wanted.
