[Music] where did Donald Trump go to college did he go to an Ivy League school ever since Donald Trump took office Americans have spent a lot of time talking about how intelligent or educated a president should be there are no hard and fast rules nor are there educational requirements for someone to be elected president but how does our current president stack up where did Donald Trump go to college handily attend an Ivy League school where D Donald Trump go to college the Washington Post reports that Donald Trump often cites his college background as evidence of his intellectual superiority he graduated from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania but the achievement may not be as impressive as it initially sounds according to the post Trump did not get an MBA from Wharton he has a much less prestigious undergraduate degree additionally Trump didn't spend his entire undergraduate career at Penn he was a transfer student who arrived at Wharton after two years at Fordham University which u.s. News & World Report currently ranked 66th among national universities The Post explains Trump reportedly had respectable grades at Fordham but got into Wharton as a transfer student mainly because of an admissions officer who had gone to high school with his older brother did Donald Trump attend an Ivy League school Donald Trump did indeed go to an Ivy League school when he attended the University of Pennsylvania but one Town & Country writer noted some issues with the president's brash declaration that he went to an Ivy League college where he says he was a nice student Elizabeth angel writes one of the first things I learned when I arrived at my Ivy League college was never to use the phrase do Ivy League college she explains you got to do the dance you don't offer up the information voluntarily let them come to you and when people do ask you where you went to school say Boston or New Haven her Philadelphia like they asked for a geography lesson instead of a simple piece of information angel also reports that even though people use their Ivy League status as proof of their superior intelligence geniuses standout at Ivy Load schools because there is unusual there is everywhere else most of the students at Harvard and Yale and Princeton and Cornell remember Cornell are just cocky entitled versions of the same idiots you find everywhere else angel quips what kind of student was he was Penn the Boston Globe reports that when Donald Trump transferred to the University of Pennsylvania he was an outsider on the Ivy League campus in Philadelphia with few friends but that didn't faze Trump the globe reports that when a professor asks students in his small class why they had chosen to study real estate Trump stood up and said I'm going to be the king of New York real estate the brash personality that Americans now Nowell was already in full bloom during his college years according to more than a dozen Wharton classmates the future president reportedly spoke up often but rarely shined in class and as the Washington Post notes despite Trump's claims that he graduated first in his class at Wharton the 1968 commencement program doesn't list him as graduating with any sort of honors he barely participated in campus activities he didn't attend fraternity parties perhaps because he doesn't drink and the globe reports that he spent most of his spare time pursuing his dream using his advantages as the son of a prominent New York real estate developer to get an early start on the business career that would make him very very rich the globe adds the Trump Edden in-your-face attitude about his quest for money from his first day on campus said his former classmates Donald Trump didn't have the easiest path in college The Washington Post characterizes both Donald Trump and his predecessor Barack Obama as college failures what does that mean it has to do with the data that colleges report on how many of their students managed to graduate in four years Barack Obama and Donald Trump both transferred colleges so technically no school ever reported either future president in their graduation statistics in fact two schools in their cases Occidental College and Fordham University even had to report them as failures to complete clearly that didn't hurt either of them but the post notes that it's not fair for transfer students not to count in graduation or retention statistics because it means that the school they transfer to has little incentive to help them succeed he doesn't seem to think that academic credentials are important according to The Chronicle of Higher Education Donald Trump's comments about his college education reveal a dubiousness about the importance of academic credentials even as he braggadocious Li touts his own and an impatience with curricular pursuits that lack an obvious utilitarian applicability the publication adds that Trump saw higher education as a means to an end Fordham University in the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania where mr. Trump transferred to complete a bachelor's degree in economics were essentially credential factories the publication explains to build the real-estate Empire he envisioned he needed the degree but as the chronicle notes it was clear to mr. Trump's classmates that mr. Trump's relationship with Penn would be a transactional one he would learn what he thought he needed to learn and skimmed the rest you
