In reply to the discussion: What a shocker!! Trump lied about graduating first in his class at Wharton [View all]Pachamama
(16,886 posts)I always tell people I went to Penn...if I said Wharton, even though they have a Bachelor of Science in Economics degree with majors in areas that are the same classes as an MBA, people then presume you went to Wharton Graduate School and have an MBA.
Notice he never claims to have an MBA - and if he does, he is lying. But he does this on purpose to just let people think he went to Wharton grad and has an MBA.
That all said - I'm very active at Penn as an alum, am involved in committees and fundraising and know a lot about alumni, especially the well known ones. One of my classmates and sorority sister is Tory Burch (formerly Robinson) and a good friend was Beau Biden who died last year. (He was in the Castle fraternity). I know people and met people in Trumps graduating class. Most people didn't know him - and the few who did and took classes with him said he was the biggest asshole they ever met and had few friends. I have never in 30 years seen him attend any alumni or homecoming events, although I vaguely remember him coming in the 80's to speak there, but I didn't go. The school is ashamed to call him am alum. They are much prouder of it's founder Benjamin Franklin and many other alums who have done great things for humanity and the sciences. We have a lot of great graduates. Trump is not one of them.
