Subject: How do you list TA position on Common App/SRAR?
I think the answer here boils down to what she actually ends up doing in the position. The activity section would provide a chance for her to explain that, if what she is doing is something she wants to more clearly communicate to admissions. If she's not doing anything meaningful to her, then she may not want to bother.
No clue what to say about the SRAR.

She listed it as a senior class, N/A for the level, on the common app.
Should she have put it as an activity instead?
Also, how should she list it in SRAR? There is no real “level” to it.
We have the same question. If it's not graded, it doesn't make sense to me that it goes on the transcript.

Don't put it on the activity list if it's already on her transcript.

It'll be tricky if it's on her transcript as a class that counts towards graduation, but she tries to claim she's a TA. I'd ask the school to look for a different way to quantify the experience on the transcript. I had an internship with a teacher when I was a Sr in HS but it was called and internship on my transcript.
?? The class will show up on transcript as being a teacher’s assistant for the art class. She’s not taking the class - she’s in AP now and took this class already as a freshman.
Sorry. You said, "It will show up on her transcript as one of her classes." If she's getting credit, it's not an activity. Is her performace pass/fail or is it graded?

I think any class that isn't listed as Honors, AP, etc. is listed as regular (or whatever the equivalent is) on the SRAR, just like PE, etc.

Senior daughter will be a TA for an art class this year (FCPS). It will show up on her transcript as one of her classes.
She listed it as a senior class, N/A for the level, on the common app.
