As for being super smart, maybe he is.  But the recent college admission cheating scandal in the US is tame compared to what goes on internationally.  Best not to be naive that all international students at top schools are truly as credentialed as the colleges that admitted them assume.[/quote]

+1. Border agents can be so mercurial and biased.
