How intense is a Wharton triple-concentration?

I definitely want to concentrate in BPUB. But I can't decide between management and finance for the second concentration. Is a BPUB/mgmt/finance triple-concentration possible, assuming that I enter the school with credit from the following exams:

AP Calc BC
AP Micro/Macro Econ
AP Statistics
IB English HL
IB French HL
IB History of the Americas HL

Just playing around with my options.

chances are, after a few classes, you will really know what you want to concentrate in, assuming you still want to do business.

if you're motivated, you can do all three.

i know someone who is sorta doing a quadruple concentration, and another person who is a double concentrator + m&t dmd, so it's possible if you're interested and have enough motivation to do the work.

Hey just I'm just curious, but I can't figure out what BPUP stands for?

bpub is the abbrevation for business and public policy.

Okay it's really early to start thinking about concentrations. Most Wharton students won't declare until some point during their junior year. That's far away! As far as doing 3 goes, no advisor would recommend that. We would much rather prefer that students explore subjects OUTSIDE of Wharton rather than overloading on Wharton classes. You only need one concentration to graduate, so start thinking about your curriculums in terms of ONE, that way you won't limit yourself to other options (minors, dual degrees, etc.).
