NoteThe claim states 'BS in Economics and BS in Physics' but the source specifies 'Bachelor of Arts in physics and a Bachelor of Science in economics' — the physics degree is a BA, not a BS. The claim correctly identifies the University of Pennsylvania and the two fields of study. However, the claim states he 'briefly attended Stanford PhD program (dropped out after 2 days)' but the source only says he 'was accepted to a graduate program in materials science at Stanford University, but did not enroll' — it does not confirm he attended for 2 days or specify it was a PhD program (it was a materials science graduate program). The source does not provide details about the duration of any Stanford attendance.
