<p>I'm a high school junior and I'm looking to be a teaching assistant as one of my classes next semester. How much would this hurt me for college admission? Other than that, I'm taking all honors and AP courses. (I need to TA so that I can leave early from that hour and get to sports practice on time).</p>
<p>I can’t imagine that it would hurt you very much. Sports are a factor in your college applications as well, and as long as your other classes are rigorous, I think there would be very little negative impact. Keep your grades up, study hard for those SATs or ACTs, regardless of if you’re a genius or not, and do what you love to do. Be who you are and display that in your app and you’ll be golden. A minor detail like that is not a huge factor at all, even if it is your “Junior Year”.</p>
