<p>I am just curious how he got ACT or SAT scores submitted on his behalf, not to mention a transcript from Exeter. And how much does one want to get caught when you start applying for prizes and awards? He was begging to get caught and Bowdoin is probably just happy to have gotten rid of the guy when it was only “academic dishonesty.”</p>
