Did my GRE a longgg time ago but all the essay topics were published on their site. Just pick random ones, time your self, and practice.

I just used all the official material + the Manhattan book series and spent a ton of time on free forums like beatthegmat, and that was enough to get me a 760 first try.
Essay wasn't included in the official score when I took it so I only spent about an hour of prep on that and got a 6.0. Mostly just read the Manhattan book on it.

You end up getting an MBA? Or still chilling at EY?

TTP

The essay is something most adcoms don't concern themselves with unless you are scoring below a 3. Your score is directly correlated to essay length

Second the Manhattan books! Bought the full set and they were easily the most helpful, ended up with a 780. Essay score is correlated to length so just make sure you write something long lol
