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.

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."

He was an admitted pot head! At least that explains his poor performance! Donal trump claims he never drank or did drugs and he STILL performed poorly?!

I genuinely don't understand what the big deal is. Wharton UG is a top-notch school, and their MBA program is just as good. Since when is Wharton UG considered "inferior" to the MBA option?

1100 is pretty low.

that is shocking

Is Occidental a community college? The U.S. News & World Report ranks them as #43 in national colleges, and lists tuition at around $50,000 a year.

Does Obama boast that he went to Columbia and Harvard in every other speech? Also law school is far more intellectually difficult than business school

Think it was a different scale. But affirmative action must have helped.

So you turn this thread into a debate about Obama? News Flash: Obama isn't running for president. I realize it's hard to find an argument that actually defends Trump's intellect though.

Yes. It was a different scale than the one in place now. But more important, that was the average score of the group, this tells us nothing about his score.

Magna cum laude from HLS, Editor of Law Review and recruited by top tier Chicago law firm not good enough for you?

This makes a lot more sense.

It makes a lot more sense. His "I have a very good brain" statements are not likely from a Wharton MBA.

George W Bush might disagree with you as he proudly touts his C average at Yale.

Trump has what so many folks here obsess about: an Ivy degree.

[Anonymous]

I don't think we should argue about Trump's lack of intelligence when it was determined that Hillary was too incompetent to know she was supposed to protect classified information. Neither has the intellectual capacity (nor the morals) of someone we should want as our president.
