<p>My high school used to offer peer tutoring available for juniors and seniors and teacher assistant available for seniors. I will be a senior this year, but they have gotten rid of TA for some reason. Peer tutoring is basically the same thing, except it counts as a CP class whereas the TA counts as nothing. Will taking a peer tutor class bring down my GPA and maybe not look so good on college applications, like it may show I am slacking senior year (which I don't want to be the case)?</p>
<p>It would be a good experience that you could base your essay on but I think a college would prefer that you challenge yourself in your classes by taking AP classes.</p>
<p>If you can change peer tutoring into an actual class, I would do it. </p>
<p>If not, it probably wouldn’t hurt your odds.</p>
