An Ivy League university and one of the best colleges in America, the University of Pennsylvania has produced some of the most successful entertainers, entrepreneurs, and politicians in American history.
And soon, the school will count a US president among its alma mater.
President-elect Donald Trump graduated from UPenn's Wharton School of Finance in 1968 after transferring there in his junior year.
Trump joins a host of other successful alumni, ranging from business magnate Warren Buffett to fashion designer Tory Burch to tech mogul Elon Musk.
The Philadelphia Ivy has also produced 25 billionaires — more than any other school in the world. Here are some of the most notable names on the list:
President-elect Donald Trump started at Fordham University but transferred to UPenn after two years, graduating in the class of 1968. "I decided that as long as I had to be in college, I might as well test myself against the best," Trump said in his book "Trump: The Art of the Deal."
