    C++ on college app.

    How much will knowing how to competently code in C++ look on my college app. I heard it looks good but, how good does it look? By that i mean like will it give a little leeway on grades or SAT scores? I plan on majoring in Computer Science

    It may distinguish you from ~%5 of the CS population. Just about everyone who is interested in CS knows C++, it's not going to be a "deal closer".
