[edit] Education
Trump attended Choate Rosemary Hall, as well as Chapin. After graduation, she spent two years at Georgetown University, then transferred to and graduated magna cum laude [1] from the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor of science in economics in 2004.
[edit] Modeling
While Trump was at Choate, her mother only paid for her tuition and Ivanka had to pay for her phone bills. She had to find a job to pay for her other needs as well, and so turned to modeling at age sixteen.[citation needed]
Her first cover was a 1997 issue of Seventeen. Since then she has made her way down fashion runways for Versace, Marc Bouwer and Thierry Mugler. She has done ad campaigns for Tommy Hilfiger and Sassoon Jeans and was featured on the cover of Stuff magazine in August 2006.[2]
[edit] TV appearances
In 1997, she hosted the Miss Teen USA Pageant.
Trump gained fame in 2003 when she was featured in Born Rich, a documentary about the experience of growing up as a child in one of the world's most affluent families.
During an April 2006 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Trump said that she and former boyfriend Bingo Gubelmann had broken up, yet they remain good friends. Leno commented that he could hear her father's influence and inflections in her.
Ivanka Trump was a featured guest-judge on Project Runway Season 3.
[edit] The Apprentice
In 2006 she filled in for Carolyn Kepcher on five episodes of her father's television program The Apprentice 5, first appearing to help judge the Gillette task in week 2.[3] She has already appeared on several episodes with her brother, Donald Jr., with Donald Sr. referring to his two children with the grammatically incorrect phrase, "two true Apprenti". Like Kepcher, Trump visited the site of the tasks and spoke to the teams, asking them pointed questions. She also evaluated contestants in the boardroom, pointing out critical errors and rebutting excuses they offered for losing the tasks. Though initially unsympathetic to the contestants, Trump later said, "whenever I see their breakdowns, I understand. They go virtually 24 hours a day, and each task takes about three days. Unless they win, they don’t get a day off...It’s an incredible amount of work".[4]
Ivanka replaced Carolyn Kepcher as a primary boardroom judge, beginning with Season 6 of The Apprentice.[5]

[edit] Quotes
- "You did a good job in implementing an ultimately bad design." — Ivanka to Allie Jablon and Roxanne Wilson, Week 14, The Apprentice 5
- "I [am a] much more private [person than my father] — never loved the spotlight all that much. Except for my brief — perhaps a mistake — modeling stint to break up the monotony of boarding-school existence." [8]
