@Sally_Rubenstone‌
Do you have an opinion on the pro/con of subject test number (2 vs 3 or more) or distribution (math/science/other) for admission to elite colleges in general or Harvard specifically?

My daughter has taken math2 and chem with excellent scores. She is all “prepped” for us history and literature artery taking those APs this month. Should she take the 2 subject tests in June?

If the college says “2 subject tests required” does that mean that there is no real benefit to having more? Will they look askance at a student who submits only the minimum or only Math/science?
