Another biographer, Gwenda Blair, wrote in 2001 that Trump was admitted to Wharton on a special favor from a friendly admissions officer. The officer had known Trumps older brother, Freddy.
Trumps classmates doubt that the real estate mogul was an academic powerhouse.

Some classmates speculated that Trump skipped class, others that he commuted to New York on weekends.
