Would taking a Teacher Assistant period senior year hinder my application to T10s, 20s, etc?

My D22 has a teacher assistant period now and, to be honest, it has been a lifesaver in enabling her to keep her grades up while getting her college and scholarship applications done. And to help manage her stress. For those reasons, I believe it was the right approach even if a college were to consider it a negative.

We have not heard back yet from the most selective schools on her list, but so far she has received 7 acceptances with good merit aid.

I think she will probably not be admitted to the very highest ranked schools she applied to, but I don’t think she would be admitted if she were taking one more AP class, either — she’d just be more stressed out when the response arrived.
