Yes - I think you are right that she only needs to send 2 subject tests - but she was under the impression that since she wanted to study science that she needed to send a score for at least one science (or math) subject test. Her friends and I think one of the Ivy forums here on CC had mentioned that admissions officers may question an applicant to the science field who only submits language/history/non-technical subject tests. So she thought it would look bad if she didn’t submit a chem score which is why she thought she would have to take it again. But I am starting to see that IF she can get recruited by one of these schools that the numbers are the only part that matters and not whether it is chem or history. Maybe that will be more important if she doesn’t get recruited by her dream school and goes for that school on her own without coach support/recruitment.
