How Do Multiple Majors Factor In?
I'm sure it can't hurt, but how much does it help to have multiple majors? I currently have three majors and am hoping that will be beneficial in the application process.

Re: How Do Multiple Majors Factor In?
Not everything is as black and white as this site seems to see it. Having multiple majors is definitely not a game changer in the application process, but if you were to tie your interests and your majors into a compelling story about yourself, in your personal statement, for example, that might work to your advantage. But don't lose perspective on the weight of numbers in the whole application process. Multiple majors won't hurt, but if is going to hurt your GPA, you might want to weigh your options.

I had multiple majors as well. I can't be sure it didn't help my application but I agree with the other responders. Generally, it does not matter.
