100+, expect for environment sciences.[/quote]
Wrong - environmental sciences is now oversubscribed at most schools[/quote]
Definitely no.

It's a stem major that requires high level stem courses, AP sciences, Calculus BC, etc.  Also requires ES related ECs to demonstrate why major.  
There may be weak applicants who think this is an easy major, but do not have stem rigor or ECs or both.  On the other hand, strong stem applicants typically are interested in more traditional ECs, biomedical, computer science, etc., and they won't do well applying ES without the ECs.

Does anyone know if applicants need high level stem? [/quote]

I don't think you need it for environmental studies, which is more of a humanities major.  An applicant can apply there if don't have high level stem courses.
Different stories for environmental sciences or environmental engineering.[/quote]

This is one of those majors that can go either more STEM or more public policy. The approach varies by school. Similar to public health and economics in this respect.[/quote]
