is this courseload too much?

It depends on what six are you planning. But my advice would be to take as many as you can, especially if you don’t know what fields you are going into in the future.

If I were you, I would major in one and take classes in the other. Being trapped in a double major means your course selection is limited, and I don’t see how an extra major could put you at an advantage in terms of looking for internships/jobs… All the companies I interned at so far, except Google, have asked me what projects I built, what skills do I have. Nobody ever asked me what classes I tool, what my GPA was, or if I had more than one major…

Take that with a grain of salt, since it’s my $0.02.
