Just my 2 cents:

I applied to UCBerkeley, UCLA and UCSD with 3 different majors.
Berk - Legal Studies, UCLA - Psych, UCSD - Philosophy.
I wrote about 2 (Psych and Legal), and mentioned Phil in my interests (cause UCSD doesn’t read their essays). I wrote how I love these fields and why, and got in all three schools.
I had a 4.0 and honors, so don’t base your opinion just on my essay.
It’s doable, but hard. Think of a way to connect them all.
For me, it was Law School. I just moved on to talking about law and how the majors would enrich me.
Good luck!
