Its kinda like the NUS scholar reject thread isn't it?
Like a couple of us said so many times, if your stellar grades
dont get you anywhere, its more likely that you didnt bother
applying....or the interview showed you up as having incompetent
attitude.
But then those who didnt bother applying but chose to argue
based on pure academic merit obviously think otherwise and miss
those points.
I especially liked how one fella tried to put me down and say
that I was whining because I could count my grades on only
one hand.
After I corrected him, I noticed that he didn't want to take me
on anymore. 
Shucks man. Just reading the tone of the original post, I can
tell the attitude and character of the person who wrote it. And if
he really did show that kind of 'I'm a talented elite,
gimme my scholarship' attitude during the interview, his
application form would get shredded on the spot.
And not being able to recall his grades? In an interview, that's
a major liability.
All the more so when he's supposed to have seven straight
As..... after all, AAAAAAA is a whole lot easier to recall than
ABACBDA, no?
