What a shocker!! Trump lied about graduating first in his class at Wharton

[DFW]

17. That would be a false assumption

At Penn, we could choose as an undergrad which school to enroll in and graduate from. You could graduate from any one of several of Penn's "schools" after the first four years without getting a graduate degree. We had various choices. There was "the college (of arts and sciences)," Wharton, Nursing, Engineering, probably a few others I have since forgotten. You took your requirements where they were taught (like my Econ class at Wharton), but it didn't mean you were enrolled there, or would graduate from there. A Wharton student might have been in my Russian class to satisfy one of his humanities requirements, but it didn't mean he had to change his Wharton enrollment to do it.

You could always go on to get a graduate degree from Wharton, of course, like from anywhere else, but you could just get an undergrad degree from Wharton after four years, too, and then go on to do whatever.
