Donald Trump and Wharton

[Anonymous]

I have to agree with this article. Trump is a phony conservative and a moron.

You might be forgiven for thinking from this, as I did, that Trump has an MBA from the Wharton School of Business. He doesn't.

He actually has an undergraduate degree for the two years he spent there. Yes, I said two years. Trump was not able to get into the Wharton School (undergraduate) when he applied to college. He spent his first two years at Fordham University – a respectable school, but nowhere near as rigorous as Wharton (either undergraduate or graduate). The circumstances of his admissions are not clear, but the Daily Caller suggested that Trump may have used a family connection to gain admittance.

So instead of saying, "I'm smart because I went to Wharton!" Trump should be saying, "I'm smart because I went to Fordham for two years, and then Wharton for my final two years!"

So Obama is a phony for saying he graduated from Columbia? I never heard Obama said I went to occidental college for two years because I was not able to get into Columbia. Maybe Obama should release his transcripts and settle this.

It's very common for non-rich people to attend a community college and then transfer to a more respectable school, for financial reasons.

Of course, Donald Trump is from a wealthy family, and Fordham isn't cheap, so he doesn't have that excuse.

Obama has often talked about his time at Occidental. He's written about it in his books, he's talked about it in interviews etc.

Oh! I actually thought that Donald Trump had an MBA from Wharton.

This makes a lot more sense.

Trump should release his transcripts also but I haven't heard him say he would.

Eh, this doesn't bother me, unless Trump is implying he got an MBA rather than an undergraduate business degree. And even then, he would not be the first to do so. Wharton makes you work hard for that undergrad business degree. My sister went through that program and it was brutal. Also, there is nothing wrong with starting at one school and transferring to another.

There are many things to hate about Trump. This one is so trivial it doesn't remotely make the list.

That would be idiotic because the nova to UVa guaranteed transfer agreement is an amazing--too good to be true, almost--deal. It's not where you start. It's where you end up. Trump graduated from Wharton undergrad--the best undergrad business program in the world. Obama graduated from Columbia. The kid you know who started at nova and transferred to UVa graduated from UVa. Credit to these folks for obtaining their goals.

Obama was a professor.

Obama has often talked about his time at Occidental. He's written about it in his books, he's talked about it in interviews etc.

"In his autobiography, Dreams From My Father, Mr Obama describes himself as an unfocused high school student whose mother criticized him for being a ‘loafer’.

He also describes his attitude toward his studies at Occidental as ‘indifferent’ and called himself a ‘bum’ who was notorious for partying.

A November 18, 1981 article in the Columbia Spectator revealed the SAT average for the transfer intake that year.

It stated: ‘On paper at least, the quality of the students accepted [as transfers] has declined along with the number of applicants, the officials say.’

President Obama, who moved from Occidental Community College in Los Angeles, was among 67 students whose average combined math and verbal score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test is a 1,100."

This exactly. I started at community college and transferred to a very well-respected four-year school, graduating near the top of my class. When people ask me where I went to college, I just give the name of the four-year. It's the school from which you graduate that "counts."

1100 is pretty low.

1100 is pretty low.

It is pretty low, but he doesn't seem to have done too badly in life, so maybe test scores aren't everything.
