Would you advise being a teaching assistant or taking a class?

<p>Senior year I can be a TA for a math class, but obv can also take a real class. What's the better option? I would love doing both equally, btw.</p>

<p>Well, TA-ing would have the benefit of not lowering your GPA, unless your math class is weighted. However, if you don’t have at least 3 years of math, you might want to do it just for the preparation or the opportnity of testing out of college math.</p>

<p>Oh, I just rereard your question and apparently your choice isn’t between TAing and taking a math class. It might depend on what class it is that you want to take, how much you want to maintain your GPA, etc.</p>

<p>Random question, but I’m going to be a chem TA next year. Where would this go on the common app? ECs? I was confused about this.</p>

<p>Er, I haven’t applied to colleges yet, but at my school it would show up on your transcript.</p>
