Weird Goldsmiths offer (Psychology)

I applied for Psychology at Goldsmiths, Univeristy of London..
Their requirements are ABB, however, I was predicted ABC.
My best friend has also applied for a Psychology course there; she's predicted ABB.
We both got conditional offers;
mine - ABB
friend's - AAB
Also, I've done a couple of work experiences which I have included in my personal statement (including w.exp with a Psychologist) whereas, she has not done any work experience/voluntary work. & Her app was sent off 2 weeks before mine.

My question is, why is she required to get higher grades, although she's predicted the required grades anyway ????
Am I just lucky? Or is there a reason behind this.
