"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.

He is dishonestly attempting to make people think he went to their Grad School, which is what they're famous for.
The question arose in many places when Trump said he was a Wharton grad.
Obviously, if that many people understand it to mean the grad school, it's a valid point, AND we know he was trying to mislead the elctorate.
"My entire country, the Philippines,is in a heated debate of what 'Wharton graduate' implies because one of our presidentiables said that he is a 'Wharton graduate'. They think that 'Wharton graduate' automatically means 'Wharton MBA graduate.' This presidential candidate only finished a Bachelor's degree in Wharton, not an MBA, and he has been accused of being misleading as to the pedigree of his educational attainment. My question, to be precise, is: Is it wrong to say you are a Wharton graduate even if you finished only a Bachelor's degree? When you hear 'Wharton graduate' do you automatically think that that person has an MBA? "
"But there's less here than meets the eye. Trump did graduate from the Wharton School of business at the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League college. But Trump did not get an MBA from Wharton; he has a much less prestigious undergraduate degree. He was a transfer student who arrived at Wharton after two years at Fordham University, which U.S. News & World Report currently ranks 66th among national universities"
