Is it worth it to spend a good chunk of time over the summer studying chem to boost that score?



Probably not. I think she has the necessary academics covered. Based upon what others have shared, I’d focus on the exposure and athletic aspects of recruiting. She is going to have some really good schools to choose from. However, if she can focus and improve her time she’ll have possibly have even more to choose from, and more leverage.

These kids are high achievers. If her chem score really bothers her, by all means re-take it. It probably isn’t the best use of time or focus. My sons girlfriend (recruited Ivy athlete) retook the SAT because she got a question wrong. I thought that was a little over the top, but what do I know. I missed quite a few questions on the SAT.
