<p>What are some of the craziest (read: most intense) major and concentration combos you've seen/heard of? </p>
<p>I planned an Econ-Poli Sci joint major with concentrations in Philosophy and History with just 6 academic classes a semester. Know of anyone who made it through alive (read: 3.8+ GPA) doing something like this?</p>
<p>Yeah my dad took 6 classes a semester and graduated with ~3.8.</p>
<p>"I planned an Econ-Poli Sci joint major with concentrations in Philosophy and History"</p>
<p>i can't say if this is possible, but you realize there's no double counting yes?
also you might not be able to accomplish this because of scheduling difficulties, this is what predominantly prevents multiple majoring.</p>
<p>6 classes is nothing. i am trying a triple major double minor, but my gpa will definitely not be 3.8+ by the end of it all. I attempted 10 classes this semester but was too lazy; ended up dropping two.</p>
<p>one of the upsides of this school is that they don't charge per credit, so you're free to try this sort of thing.</p>
<p>You're kidding. Either that or you are absolutely insane.</p>
<p>I doubt you'll fit that into your schedule, since a lot of classes overlap. Econ-Poli Sci with one minor is more realistic.</p>
<p>Pear, what major are you?</p>

<p>Alas, sanity prevents most people from doing that. I can't even picture in what way it would be helpful.</p>
<p>But...congratulations on the, yknow, 'not stabbing yourself in the eye during finals' thing.</p>
<p>yes, finals were hell, as were midterms (i averaged ~2.5 midterms a week on top of regular assignments for 4 consecutive weeks, then decided to drop 2 classes), but if, unlike me, you have work ethic, then 7+ classes should be doable even if it won't be fun. you won't be drinking on a wednesday night too often, but a high gpa is most definitely possible.</p>
<p>of course i'd imagine this gets more difficult as you get deeper into each major - you can pile on intro classes without trouble, but others like 2800 physics are equivalent to 3-4 of your other classes combined in difficulty, if not workload as well.</p>
<p>Same as you.</p>
<p>You're ****ting me. What Poli Sci classes are you taking.</p>
<p>lvilleslacker is obviously lying.</p>
<p>Intro to int. rela., it's gonna be at Barnard.</p>

<p>Sorry dude-- three cushy liberal arts majors isn't crazy/intense. It's just unlikely to be possible to do, because of scheduling conflicts.</p>
<p>As life defining as it seems now, once you get out of school no one will care about your three majors and five minors.</p>
<p>No one cares about minors that much I know. The people who take relevant ones to their professions mostly do it for a more rounded formation or for that one resume line of 'familiar with ______".</p>
<p>Although apparently, choosing a double (or triple I guess) major carefully can give you quite a bit of an edge.</p>
