No ... he did not graduate from the famed "professional" program they are well known for. What you're doing is exactly what Trump intended ... pretend he "went to Wharton" when in fact it generally means something ELSE to financial professionals. Technically they do have an undergraduate program. That's not what they are known for. They are known for their Master's level programs, not their undergrad programs.
"Wharton's MBA program is ranked No. 1 in the United States according to Forbes[] and No. 1 in the United States according to the 2020 U.S. News & World Report ranking. Meanwhile, Wharton's MBA for Executives and undergraduate programs are ranked No. 3 and No. 1 in the United States respectively by U.S. News.[7][8] MBA graduates of Wharton earn an average $159,815 first year base pay not including bonuses, the highest of all the leading schools. Wharton's MBA program is tied for the highest in the United States with an average score of 732 (97th percentile) for its entering class.

What other undergraduate touts the fact they went to "Wharton" ?
From your excerpt (emphasis added):
Quote:Meanwhile, Wharton's MBA for Executives and undergraduate programs are ranked No. 3 and No. 1 in the United States respectively by U.S. News
Like or not, Trump isn't lying when he says he 'went to Wharton'. He graduated from the most prestigious undergraduate business school in the US.
I would imagine, as hard as the Wharton School is to get into, there are more than a few undergrads who name drop it.
