Trump doesn’t have an MBA from Wharton

If this is important to you, cast your vote for a different candidate.
 
Ask @DrHoops he’s making the claim that he says he does. Unless Hoops doesn’t understand that Wharton offers undergrad degrees too.
I hear ya, but it's odd that seemingly lots of folks assume and interpret his comments as MBA-oriented. Folks who follow this sort of thing mostly know Wharton for the MBA program. So sure, Trump might never have explicitly said he got an MBA, but most people aren't comfortable with the notion that their credentials are exaggerated. It's a low-character MO to be okay with that and not to be clear about the truth.

Did he say he has an MBA?
Per the article, people who get a business undergrad degree from UPenn say they’re from UPenn. MBA grads say they’re from Wharton.

That designation aside, Trump is disengeous about his college degree. He omits Fordham because he thinks it would present a less smart version of himself, which is stupid.

Good grief, Trump is really in your head now.

How many people give acknowledgement to a school that they started at before transferring and graduating?

Secondly, if people who get a B.S. in economics degree from the Wharton School said UPenn, why are there so many examples that prove otherwise?

Oh look, a real estate investor!

Would you like some more examples?

Perhaps you may learn to do your own due diligence? Now we can lump you in with Hoops going forward.

I guess you're right. Transferring to a prestigious school and getting an undergrad degree makes you, like, the smartest person in the universe. My bad.

This seems oddly important to you, JDB. Almost as oddly important to you as it does to Hoops. o_O

Really? I tell people I went to Kelley and all that I got there was an undergrad business degree. I received my MBA from another Top 15 b school but I don’t think people assume I meant Kelley MBA when people asked me where I went to school.

He's not even close to one of the top Wharton undergrads or MBAs, but don't get mad at me because you were wrong and are realizing that your disdain for Trump is ruining your ability to think rationally.

Is anyone shocked to find the bolded applies to DJT? Anyone??

Kelley isn't the same as Wharton, so I'm not sure that's apples to apples. (I went to a top 20 graduate school -- as of today anyway -- but nobody is going to view it the same as the top 1 or 2). It would hardly be surprising to me if folks who hear talk of "Wharton" immediately jump mentally to the MBA program. I don't know how common that is. (You're saying it's not, I think). If it's really not that commonly held a perception, there's nothing to see here and you're right. But I don't dismiss the notion out of hand that's a common known perception.

He transferred to UPenn from Fordham and got a bachelors degree in Econ. Nothing shameful about that, but stop telling everyone you went to Wharton, implying that’s where you got an MBA.

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/01/st...snt-actually-have-an-mba-from-wharton-report/

The insignificance of this non-story is demonstrated by the fact that it took until over a year after the election was over for anyone to make a stink about all of this nonsense.
Again, as I have repeatedly noted, Trump is worthy of derision and ridicule. But not over petty stuff like this.
 
Obama started at Occidental College and transferred to Columbia as a junior and then received his undergraduate degree from Columbia. I would imagine that neither could have gotten in the schools they finally received their degrees from straight out of high school.

How did Obama pay for his college ?
 
Most people in Finance, when they say they went to Wharton are implying they received their MBA there...and that's exactly what Trump does...and is the whole point of the AP article.

Ask @DrHoops he’s making the claim that he says he does. Unless Hoops doesn’t understand that Wharton offers undergrad degrees too.
 
Besides that, he only attended UPenn for 1 year.

Per the article, people who get a business undergrad degree from UPenn say they’re from UPenn. MBA grads say they’re from Wharton.

That designation aside, Trump is disengeous about his college degree. He omits Fordham because he thinks it would present a less smart version of himself, which is stupid.
 
I don't know many undergraduates from IU who say they went to Kelley. And if you were much of a sought after student, you wouldn't be working at some shit hole firm in Minnesota.

LOL. You are so mad I caught you in another terrible lie. Face it Hoops, you know nothing about business or finance and never will.
 
Yeah, well they're doing the same thing. When I was still in the hedge fund business, if you said you went to Wharton, you were implying you went to their business school.

My biggest client was the #1 student in UVA's undergraduate business school (McIntire). He carefully states in his bio that he went to UVA for undergrad. He doesn't leave some ambiguous comment in his presentation. You'd probably do that, if you had any reason to give someone your bio...which you don't.

Lie? What am I lying about? Well...I don't work anymore because I'm retired from my finance job and you're going back to your cubicle tomorrow. ;)

It isn't very hard Hoops. You got caught in a flat out lie and can't admit it. There are dozens of people in the HF industry that obtained their B.S. in Economics from The Wharton School. Google is your friend.

This isn't 1980 Hoops. Nobody works in cubicles.

You didn't work in the HF business because your clients weren't Magnetar, Glenview, etc. All of the legitimate funds use reputable placement agents and always have. Some guy in his middle class working out of his house isn't doing it right.
