Fact check: Was president trump ever denied admission to Harvard

1. Summary of the results

There is no evidence that either Donald Trump or his son Barron Trump were ever denied admission to Harvard. Records show that Donald Trump attended Fordham University before transferring to Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where he completed his economics degree in 1968 ^[1]. As for Barron Trump, he is currently attending New York University's Stern School of Business after graduating from Oxbridge Academy in 2024 ^[2].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

• The original question lacks important context about which Trump it refers to, as there have been recent social media rumors specifically about Barron Trump and Harvard admissions
• Multiple reputable sources have attempted to verify claims about Barron Trump's alleged Harvard rejection:
• Google searches returned no supporting evidence ^[3]
• Universities did not respond to requests to confirm or deny these claims ^{[3] [3]}

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

• The question appears to stem from recent viral social media claims about Barron Trump being rejected from multiple prestigious universities including Harvard, Stanford, and Columbia ^{[3] [5]}
• These claims appear to be completely unsubstantiated, as:
• Multiple sources confirm there is no evidence supporting these rejections ^{[3] [5] [3]}
• The narrative may be politically motivated to embarrass the Trump family
• The spread of such unverified claims on social media demonstrates how easily misinformation can circulate without factual basis
