Does being a TA hurt your GPA???

<p>I got an A in TA (teacher aide) both sophomore and junior year. I've been hearing it hurts your GPA?
Is this true? </p>

<p>:( :'(</p>

<p>I’d imagine that most colleges won’t care if you took a class like that as long as you got an A. If you’re on the line to get into a college, they’ll see if it affected your GPA and act accordingly. I wouldn’t worry.</p>

<p>okay. thanks :)</p>

<p>It will probably lower your weighted GPA, but it will not alter your unweighted GPA.</p>

<p>At our son’s school, it is excluded from the calculation of your weighted GPA in the same way that other non-academic classes such as PE are excluded.</p>
