<p>@sussiechan Congratulations! You deserve it!</p>
<p>@rhythmandbible It means that although you have gotten into many prestigious universities and you are a recepient of a highly selective scholarship, it may behoove you to be a bit more sensitive to those on this forum who might not be as fortunate as you. This is an anxious time for any scholarship finalist and although celebration is warranted, a little more sensitivity is appreciated to those who ultimately may not get selected.</p>
<p>Just some food for thought.</p>
