Based on how other schools evaluate rigor, I would guess more along the lines of what classes you took, how many hours per semester, maybe if you took certain classes at a community college vs. a 4-year institution. It's debatable how relevant college rankings are, so I would seriously question any vet school that relies on them as a measure of academic rigor, although of course getting excellent grades at an Ivy League school can only help. Public state schools tend to be lower-ranked and less selective, but the majority of vet schools are at state schools, so it would be odd if they looked down on their own institution.I'm actually also curious how they determine the rigor of the undergrad experience. Do they look at school ranking?
