It's hard to gauge "Grad/Professional School aspirations" and I don't think that students with those desires engage in "cut throat" behavior.

Cooperative or collaborative styles are often fostered in the classroom. Perhaps that is where the difference lies. Remember that some students are motivated in that sort of environment and some students recoil from it. There's no "right" way to teach/learn...you just have to figure out which style works best for your personality.
