You might be wondering how 47 got into Wharton…

You might also be wondering why he’s never released his transcripts from Fordham University and The Wharton School of Business. Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney, legally threatened both schools with lawsuits if they ever released his transcripts.

In 1966 DJT’s brother, Fred Trump Jr. asked his friend James Nolan in Penn's admission office to help expedite a transfer from Fordham.

"He called me and said, 'You remember my brother Donald?' Which I didn't," Nolan, 81, said in an interview with The Washington Post. "He said: 'He's at Fordham and he would like to transfer to Wharton. Will you interview him?' I was happy to do that."

Soon, Donald Trump arrived at Penn for the interview, accompanied by his father, Fred Trump Sr., who sought to "ingratiate" himself, Nolan said. [The Washington Post]

“It was not very difficult to get into Wharton in 1966, easily higher than 50 percent if you were transferring from another school. I certainly was not struck by any sense that I'm sitting before a genius," he told the Post. "Certainly not a super genius."

He got in on money and white privilege. That is the system they want to reintstitute instead of merit (or what they call DEI)

And then there’s the story of how Jared Kushner got into Harvard…

“My book exposed a grubby secret of American higher education: that the rich buy their under-achieving children’s way into elite universities with massive, tax-deductible donations. It reported that New Jersey real estate developer Charles Kushner had pledged $2.5 million to Harvard University in 1998, not long before his son Jared was admitted to the prestigious Ivy League school. At the time, Harvard accepted about one of every nine applicants. (Nowadays, it only takes one out of twenty.)

I also quoted administrators at Jared’s high school, who described him as a less than stellar student and expressed dismay at Harvard’s decision.

“There was no way anybody in the administrative office of the school thought he would on the merits get into Harvard,” a former official at The Frisch School in Paramus, New Jersey, told me. “His GPA did not warrant it, his SAT scores did not warrant it. We thought for sure, there was no way this was going to happen. Then, lo and behold, Jared was accepted. It was a little bit disappointing because there were at the time other kids we thought should really get in on the merits, and they did not.”

Sounds like Maga is OK with rich white people getting in on white privilege and parental donations. They just don’t want brown or black students getting in.

It’s due time for its own thread. There’s been a whole lot of snippets in other threads about the Trump family’s intelligence or lack thereof.

True AND these so called elite schools are also okay with their shady practices to admit kids of wealthy, powerful and famous.

They were, but then they shifted to what the right calls DEI, which is anti-Rich white medicore people buying their way in, and the mediciore rich white people didn't like that so here we are.

Winner!

And they want to take away affordable education loans to make sure there is less competition for spots.

Also, it wasn’t that hard to get in, in general. Even when I went to Penn 30-plus years ago, they admitted 25 percent of applicants. Just going to an Ivy League school isn’t all that impressive a credential, especially from past eras when it was easier to get in.

Nope OP, I've never wondered. I've always known it was exactly as described by this poster:

My aunt went to Wharton then. She said it was easy to get in. It was the 60s and nobody wanted to study business.

No, nobody was wondering this.

I wasn't wondering about this, nor were any normal people. Do you have nothing better to do than come up with daily "isn't Trump terrible" posts? Trust me, I dislike Biden and Harris as much or more than you dislike Trump, but during Biden's pathetic time in office I did not waste my time on silliness like this.

DP. Given the dotard's attack on academia and elite colleges, I think the background refresher on how he got into a supposedly elite school is appropriate. He talks about being a Wharton grad all the time in the context of how smart he is.
