<p>In the additional information section in the common app, I included a math competition that I recently competed in.
I stated, (and I quote) "Member of Winning Math Day Team"</p>
<p>However, when the trophy got sent to our school, I learned we only got second place and we won the Bowl portion of the competition but only got 5th in the individual portion, resulting in our second place result. The results are posted online as well. </p>
<p>Because I said that I was on the "WINNING" team, is this bad?</p>
<p>keep in mind this is a one line statement that I have in the Additional info section of the common app</p>
