You haven’t put your daughter’s stats in the thread. Both of these schools are very difficult to get in and neither accept a lot of students because they both have very high yield. Admissions outcome can be very different for students with identicals stats.

The rankings have a lot of ties and also they are distorted now because the service academies are included. Bowdoin ranks higher most likely because it is slightly harder to get in, but that doesn’t mean Bates is easy with around an 18% acceptance rates for both men and women in regular decision. Both will be harder for females than males. You will have no way of knowing the outcome until she applies. Bates rejects about 85% of women and Bowdoin about 90% women in regular decision. The difference in selectivity doesn’t apply to many students.

If you describe your daughter’s stats and anything else like location and race maybe you will get better feedback.
