Would 1580-->1600 SAT make a difference? & other UChicago admissions questions

A 1580 one-and-done is superb and you can only potentially signal an over-attention to standardized testing by re-taking.

A high subject score in an area not already highlighted by your stats and AP scores might be useful but not necessary just for UChicago. If you were planning to take them anyway and you are happy with the results, then you should go ahead and submit to UChicago. But otherwise, I agree with @skieurope on the subject of subject tests. UChicago will probably get a strong sense as to your academic prep from your transcript and interests so it’ll really be about the essays and which admission plan you choose. Do try to pay a visit if you haven’t already done so. Good luck!
