Major for pre-med?

Now that the MCAT will have three chemistry sections, I was wondering if it’s better to major in a subject that you don’t know much about but will need to learn about (chemistry), to major in something you’re already familiar with (biology), or to major in something less common but still needed like psychology. I’m a senior in high school and have taken a ton of biology and psychology (AP, honors, etc.), but hardly any chemistry. I thought biology would be fairly easy to major in, but would chemistry be better since I’m gonna need to learn a lot of it before the MCAT anyway? Thanks
