<p>sounds like you'll have no life</p>
<p>I wouldn't say its stupid...but before you do it, ask yourself why. If you come up with answers that can not outweigh the negatives, I wouldn't do it. But if you come up with positives that, to you, outweigh them, go ahead. And good luck to you!</p>
<p>There is no good reason to get a triple major.</p>
<p>You're already in college, right OP? I can understand this question coming from a high school senior, but surely by now you should be able to see that it would be totally unnecessary and foolish to try for a triple major.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter what you want to do after college, you don't need 3 majors.
If you plan on professional school (medical, law), extra majors don't help at all. If you plan on grad school (for a PhD or Masters), extra majors don't make a difference; your research, work, and theses do. If you plan on landing a job at a firm or company of some sort, it's work experience and internships that can make all the difference.</p>
<p>In no circumstance will extra majors help.</p>
<p>It's more trouble than it's worth. The same grad schools and jobs that will look kindly on a triple major will gladly take you with a single degree in Econ/History/etc., a good GPA and internship experience. An undergraduate degree is not that practical anyway, so why would you burden yourself with three?</p>
<p>Instead of triple majoring, does your school have an independent major option? I say combine your interests into one major instead of doing three.</p>
<p>OP - If you're not already in college, you can make an effort to explore schools like NYU's Gallatin, where it's relatively easy and common to combine interests like this (a friend of mine pursued a triple emphasis of Spanish, creative writing, and vocal performance). The question of whether this is actually a meaningful or intelligent move, career-wise, is a separate one.</p>
I sure hope you worked some English classes in there
