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? 
Goodness. I just KO-ed 2 hrs while doing the readings.
Well. Its a pity he's a newbie, gotta wait 5 min per post. But
anyhow, I already pointed out that straight A is so much easier to
remember than my rojak grades, but then....he went on to
concentrate on whatever "top-tier" people I mentioned. Well, since
he insists those aren't top enough, then what he's saying will also
be that having those qualifications then qualifies you for nothing
and therefore you dont deserve any scholarship of sorts. Classic
Tan Chuan-jin LPPL.
Like I said in my post...if they enroll in any honours
programme, they'll see. That I am a small fry, and straight As is
not-quite the norm, but probably nonetheless, very shocking for
them in quantity.
