As far as triple majoring, why would you want to do that? If it’s a matter of not being able to decide on a major, give yourself a bit of time in undergrad - something should pop for you. Three majors is overkill and likely won’t help you for grad, med, law schools or employment purposes. Double majors are relatively common, and finishing them both in four years is tough. It can be done sometimes, depending on what the majors are. For example, if one of the majors is a foreign language or a lab science, they will be far more time intensive. A combination of history and English, though, might be possible in four years. All this is dependent on the requirements of individual programs, though. Look at the core reqs for the school, then add in the major reqs for each major. Do the math - you should be able to figure out what the time commitment is. Keep in mind that a minor is always an option as well. If you’re planning on med school, don’t forget the prereqs for that, either.
