SAT subject tests- didn't crush 'em...

So my daughter is a solid student, 4.4 weighted GPA and a 1470 SAT, 4’s and 5’s on the AP’s she has taken so far (Bio, Lang, Gov). She is not aiming for the top top schools but her top choices include:

Emory
Michigan
Tufts
BU

After that it’s schools like Lehigh, Maryland, Wisconsin, GW.
None of the schools REQUIRE subject tests, but some of them RECOMMEND them, whatever that means.

She is disappointed in her SAT subject tests, which are a 690 in Chem and a 730 in Bio (the E one, not the M, and I think E scores tend to be lower). She doesn’t think she should submit any of those scores. So the question is, submit both, submit just Bio, or submit none of them? She is pretty adamant that submitting only one score is foolish and it’s better to submit none- I have no idea why she feels that way.

any advice would be appreciated.
