Hands down Bio is going to be the hardest. You’ve got every pre-med in the country shooting for this major, so the admissions committee will be generally more selective.

Choosing between the other two will come down to your background and academic interests. They are both relatively small majors, and will therefore be more excited to let their departments grow. I would say Biom&Stat is a bit smaller since most people shy away from math, but still follow this rule:

If you have a strong math background go for Biom&Stat.
If you are interested in liberal arts go for Bio&Soc.

I am a senior in the Biom&Stat major so I can probably answer any other questions you may have. Let me know.
