Wait, 3 days a week right? So how will that work? Monday Pushups Tuesday Break Wednesday Dips Thursday Break Friday Pushups Saturday Break Sunday Dips That's just 2 days for each out of 3...

That's really too much work for your triceps to be honest. You're already hitting them hard with dips then you gotta rest cause you hit em with pushups. Also you need some pulling motion to make sure you don't have muscular imbalances.

So can I do pushups - situps, then squats on my rest day, since pushups are push and situps are pull? How do you suggest I split up doing three programs? Should I do them all on one day, or is the way they're spread out now okay?

you need to do something to work your back. Pullups, rows, etc. push-pull is a simpler way of referring to alternating between antagonistic muscle groups.
