I’m posting on behalf of my (fairly panicked) best friend. She’s applying Stanford RD and listed on her Common App that she would be taking physics and math subject tests in January. She’s only registered for Physics and was planning to just write the second come test day, but her family has been having trouble with finances and she doesn’t think she’ll be able to afford the second test.
We’re both international so we were not made aware of things like fee waivers until very recently and I told her I was pretty sure it is too late to try to file for one of those now.
Will highly competitive colleges, e.g. Stanford, mind (or even notice) that she only sends in the physics? Should she email ahead of time to tell them to make changes to what she entered into her common app, or will it not make any difference? She has already done two subject tests, did well on them, and reported them. Physics will be her third test, and math would have been her fourth.
