<p>I think Bates doesn’t require, not totally sure.</p>
<p>Last I checked, Reed doesn’t require as long as you have a certain GPA.</p>
<p>I’m fairly sure that Sarah Lawrence doesn’t require either.</p>
<p>Bates would fit anybody’s definition as a “top college,” and though Reed and Sarah Lawrence are both great, they’re focused towards a certain type of person.</p>
<p>Rather than eliminate (or select) colleges based on their SAT policies, have your friend look at schools that interest her. Deciding to apply to Bates simply because it doesn’t require the SAT seems unwise.</p>
