I know python and c++, a s well as java. I will learn MATHLAB in the future. Will R boost my resume and improve admission stats?

Currently, Python is essential as it dominates the programming market, followed by C++. Mastering these languages is not easy, as both are becoming increasingly complex. However, once you understand the fundamentals of both, learning a third language becomes significantly easier.

Learning Mathlab and R without clear use case is not productive. I would instead master C++ and Python.
Many people claim to know C++ and Python these days but are you better than thousands of others who can claim the same.
I would make sure you know it at the levels we cover in our Python and C++ and advanced C++ courses at a minimum.
