Walt if you were a smart Black student and got accepted to UPenn and Harvard Law School where would you go?
I am not Black, but I did get accepted to UPenn graduate school(engineering, not law), and decided to go to another more prestiges school. It was a close decision, and could have easily gone the other way.
Harvard is considered more prestiges than UPenn in law schools. UPenn is comparable to Harvard in business schools, but there is nothing that UPenn completely beats Harvard in. Most people would pick Harvard above UPenn in law.
Tell us about Obama's Occidental College grades.
Neither trump nor Obama have released their transcripts, so we only know the parts of their grades that are public.
trump did so badly high school he had to go to Fordham. Then he did so badly at Fordham that they had to backdoor him into UPenn. Then he did so badly at UPenn that he could not get into any law school over two years of apply. How badly was that? We do not know, but trump was never on any honor role, and never graduated with any honors.
Obama did well enough in high school to get a full scholarship to Occidental(the full academic scholarship means they thought he was a great student). We do not know his exact grades at Occidental, but he did well enough to be on the honor roll, so mostly A's. He did so well at Occidental that he could transfer to Columbia(an Ivy League). Because he transferred too late to be allowed to graduate with honors, he chose at that point to release his GPA at Columbia, which was a 3.7. Had he done that for four years, instead of just the last two years, he would have graduated with honors. Then he went to Harvard Law School, where he was the editor of the Harvard Law Review, and graduated magna cum laude(top 10%).
trump had a lot of money behind him, and still accomplished little in academia. Obama had no money behind him, and was one of the greatest students in America.
