Steve Said:

are ellipse's proper in college application essay writing?

We Answered:

You want to use a colon, like this:

"Sports have always been central to my growing, developing, and succeeding since I can remember: familiar tutors that have satisfied and fulfilled."

The ellipsis means you have omitted something from a quotation, or in written dialogue signifies a pause. But in more formal writing (as this should be), only the first definition applies.

Paragraph 1-2 attention grabber. Think of an experience in your life that really showcases who you are. Be detailed. Discuss something signifcant in your life. It could be anything. Or discuss why you want to be in your profession or what story inspired you to study what you are studying.

Paragraph 3-4. Highlight your academics: GPA, AP and honors classes. What skills you learned in class that will help in succeeding in college. Awards and honors that you have received. Sports or clubs that you are in.

Paragraph 5. Jobs that you have had that relate to your major? Any other things about yourself that you want to include
