... Or is it just simply because people this year work alot harder and are a lot SMARTER than those from previous years??

There is no other explanation.

Nice that you acknowledged yourself as a "TOP GUNNER" in the thread title.

My advice is: Work as hard as possible your first two years, do not take breaks, do not socialize, do not do anything that won't help your residency application, and don't try to make friends in the class (unless they will help you score higher, of course).

And then, when it comes to the boards, don't tell anyone about "The Secret" (ie, UW). let them stick to Kaplan Qbank or whatever random questions that they foolishly think will help them pass.

In this month of boards studying, it is of utmost importance to work yourself into the ground. People didn't get high scores by slacking or sleeping 7-8 hours, or having any kind of a balanced life. They do it by pushing their limits and seeing how close to going crazy they can get while also completing (at least) 250Q/day.

Finally, when it comes to third year, start this process anew: Smile when needed, shake hands confidently, and get ready to talk smack on anyone as soon as they turn their back. In addition, "grade grubbing," while having a bad connotation due to its poor name, is actually quite an effective tactic to turn those High Passes into Honors. Don't hesitate to grade grub, but of course never tell anyone about it.

Also, you should have started doing research by now and will hopefully have some publications for your residency application, or else you will look like just another student who gets a high score and doesn't do much else. "Community service," whatever that is, can also help -- but remember, it's about servicing yourself and your application, not some random person in the community.

With these suggestions, you will surely make great success and happiness for yourself.

Alternatively, you can try searching the multiple threads where people detailed their experiences, and learn from those.

Good luck! 🙂
