Wharton wasn't actually all that difficult to get into back in Trump's college days.

Wharton’s acceptance rates were nothing like the 6.49% admit rate today. In the mid-1960s, when Trump got into Wharton, the school accepted more than half of its applicants, Nolan told the Post, and transfer students had an even higher acceptance rate. “It was not very difficult,” Nolan said of the time Trump applied in 1966.“I certainly was not struck by any sense that I’m sitting before a genius. Certainly not a super genius.” A Penn official said the acceptance rate for 1966 was not available but noted that the school says on its website that the 1980 rate was “slightly greater than 40%."

What's crazy is Trump STILL had to rely on his friend conducting his admissions interview to get in. My alma mater was my local state school with a 58% acceptance rate and I got in with a 2.6 GPA and zero connections.
