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'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.

I win here, I win there...
