Would a triple major give me an advantage in consulting recruiting?

I’ve already made a post about this but it was moved to the bsch forum I didn’t get any advice specifically pertaining to consulting. I am considering triple majoring in economics, political science and international relations. The political science major is the additional major and I am wondering if it would give me an edge for consulting recruiting?

No, it won't. I would spend that time making sure you have a high GPA (ideally 3.8+) and solid extracurriculars w/ leadership positions. If you have both of these things down and feel confident with case preparation for interviews, then pick up the third major but truly only if you want. It will not push you over the edge in any extremely meaningful way.
