Mandatory minimum

I got an email response for a job today, an automated inform telling me that I met the minimum standard for a position and as a result had been moved along the line for consideration. Also: that this may be the last I hear about this job. 

So yay. I met the minimum. This is not going to be some rant about 'lowering the standards'. There doesn't seem to be any point to doing that.

It just feels disheartening to know that I met a minimum. Maybe it shouldn't but it does. I don't feel proud of myself or as though I'm accomplishing something, I just feel lame.
