I really don’t know of a formal limit on majors/minors… I kind of doubt there is one. Double majoring is indeed common, and I do know of people who have had minors on top of that.

Being pre-med with both a major and a minor is also common… I know pre-meds who are double majors as well. Pre-med is demanding, but if you can balance all of the work between everything, it can be done. I myself am a Health and Societies major on the Pre-Med track, and will probably minor in both Sociology and Biology. It’s definitely possible.

At the same time (and you’ll hear this from your advisors and older students), do NOT feel the pressure to double major, or even major/minor. It will seem like EVERYBODY double majors, but that is not accurate. Picking one major and just doing that is more than OK, the most important thing is that you can take the classes you want to take, do well in them, and build a foundation for the future.
