It would be very difficult to fit it into three years unless you have a ton of AP credit, and even then, a certain amount of your credit needs to be through Cornell.

I think that you will be able to double major in any of those combinations in four years, especially with all the APs you have. It’s good that you’re planning ahead. You should be able to fit everything in provided you plan your schedule carefully.

Keep in mind if you choose two majors in the social sciences, you will still need to fulfill your distribution in Humanities, and math and scientific reasoning as part of the degree requirements for CAS.

It might be easier to pick majors in the social sciences, so that there’s more overlap with major requirments, if both majors require a lot of courses.

But it also might be just as easy to take one in social sciences, and a smaller major in the humanities, just because you’d need to take distribution courses anyway, and you might as well have the distribution courses count towards a second major.

See this link for CAS degree requirments:
They will explain all of this to you at orientation as well.
