nothing there says it was a requirement. And the claim is he had someone take it to get into PENN, not Fordam.
At the time PENN accepted about half it's applicants.
BACK THEN, WHARTON ACCEPTED MORE THAN HALF ITS APPLICANTS
Nolan, who told the newspaper that he was the only admissions official to talk to Donald Trump, was required to give Trump a rating, and he recalled, “It must have been decent enough to support his candidacy.”
Nolan, now 81 years old, and Fred Trump Jr. had been best friends. They went to high school together and spent many hours in the Trump family home in Queens. Nolan told the Post he was sure the family hoped he could help get Trump into Wharton. The final decision rested with Nolan’s boss, who approved the application and is no longer living, according to Nolan, who would later become director of undergraduate admissions at Penn.
Yet, at the time, 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%.”
In any case, Trump transferred from Fordham to Wharton as a junior and graduated from Wharton in 1968.
