Most of the emails & applications I receive are well written, which
makes sense since most of the students here are well educated. I do
get some rubbish from time to time though. A certain troll who
frequented this group wrote to me recently with

"My grades are kinda crappy.  Roughly 2 years but failing.  I am
thinking of studying in Japan, and getting my associates degree by
replacing
these grades.  Am I still eligible?  If so, I would to enroll in this
university ASAP"

I didn't get around to replying.
