<p>First: Do you actually think it’s possible to learn 5 programming languages in one year AND potentially qualify for USAMO, do well on USAMTS, do anything with westinghouse, etc…</p>
<p>Second: While I see why doing well on all of those contests would help you, I don’t see why learning 5 unrelated programming languages helps you. If I were an admissions officer I’d say “Hmm, he knows 5 different programming languages, I wonder if he knows each of them well enough to do anything creative.”</p>
<p>Third: Do you think you can do all of that and keep an A average?</p>
<p>Think about it, based on your schedule (assuming you need 4 hours of sleep a night), you’d have from 5:30 to 2:30 to do stuff(assuming you shower, eat breakfast, brush your teeth, etc)
So great, 9 hours a day, I guess if you’re a super beast you can do the homework for all of those ap classes in 4 of the hours (assuming your school is difficult in any way).
5 hours a day to learn 5 programming languages, do science projects, and study for math contests; it’s not possible.</p>
<p>If you actually do all of this, I’ll send you a smiley face.</p>
<p>EDIT: also if you did this you should be applying to harvard first choice, with chicago as a back up</p>
