What major should I apply with?

Hello!! I am planning to apply to Columbia ED and I would like some advice on which major I should apply with. I am very interested in Biochemistry, however, I did not score as well on my AP Chem test as I had hoped (I got a 3). However, I do have experience with chemical research (an internship and independent project)

Should I just omit this score and apply to the chemistry department, or apply to environmental studies and change majors if I get in. Environmental science is another spike on my resume (5 on AP test and participation in multiple environmental activism clubs and organizations).

Thank you!

Other Info:
4.6 W GPA, 4.0 UW
1540 SAT
Multiple leadership positions in clubs
Research internship

Columbia does not admit by major. List your planned major as the one that you, at this point in time, think you will pursue.
