AEM vs. Biometry

I'm likely applying ED to CALS. I wanted to know how much easier it is to get into the Biometry major as opposed to AEM. AEM seems really hard, but there isn't much info about Biometry's admissions stats. Does anyone know how difficult Biometry is?

Here's my credentials:
Weighted GPA: 95.66 (freshmen to junior) (4 AP's so far and I plan I'm taking 3 during my senior year)
Superscored SAT score: CR 620 M 760 W 600
Extracurriculars: I volunteered at the public library during my freshmen year
I was secretary of my school's chess club during my sophomore year
I was a member of my school's moot court team (kind of like debate team) and I participated in a moot court competition at American University
I also was a member of two clubs during junior year
I participated in a summer program at Brandeis University last summer which included a Law and Science course and some community service
I am member of ARISTA (national honor society)
I participated in a public speaking/advocacy program in Israel last summer.
I am white, male, and Jewish. My mother is a graduate of Cornell. I live in Queens, NY and go to public school.

those majors are really different, both in their content and the future careers you'd consider, so you should apply to the one you'd rather study.

Is Biometry much easier to get into? I think I can use either one to go into business/finance.

yes... but you should not be thinking about your major in terms of which one is easier to get into.

AEM is much harder to get in...I'm currently an applicant myself. AEM is much more selective than any other major in CALS
