Just received my acceptance letter from MHCC to phase two. Super excited but really nervous I'm going to mess up on the 30 minute proctored essay. Anyone else just as nervous? 
 

I was thinking about picking a few prompts a week and trying to write for 30 minutes for each prompt. Anyone have any recommendations for some prompts?

Hi! I'm now in your shoes! Got the email I'm moving to phase 2, and there will be the 30 minute essay. Just curious if you ended up practicing and if you think that helped at all?  Any tips?  Thank you!!

Hi! This was actually last year - and this year is different. 

Last year we got the essay prompt 24 hours in advance and then had to go into the school to do the 30 minute proctored essay. For that I didn't do any prep work - neither did my friend. I didn't get in, however she did! What I'm taking with me this go around is just being more fluid and less essay driven. I really focused on making a good "essay" rather than just answering the question honestly and candidly.

If you don't mind me asking do you remember what the essay prompt or question was for last year?
