Why do Cambridge and Glasgow University both want A*AA for Veterinary Medicine?

I was just wondering why Cambridge and Glasgow both have the A-Level requirements for Veterinary Medicine as A*AA? Also, other Uni's like Bristol, RVC and Liverpool want at least 6 A's at GCSE, but Cambridge allows A/B/C in GCSE science and maths?

I do not really understand your question

They have lots of applicants so they can set the requirements as high as they want

I just mean if they want the same grades then does that mean they are equal in rank for Veterinary Medicine?
