No. The essay had to be submitted by students, due to TIMS award stuff, but the essay could be written by anybody. There was some discussion of mentors making another student account (called, say, "Ima Student") to submit without student knowledge. I don't know if anybody actually did that, though.

This year's process takes the Dean's List to being similar to the Woodie Flowers: The honorees don't know if they've been submitted until afterwards.
