<p>Hi everyone, I know that the common app has a specific section for awards. I have a few school awards and some regional awards too. Does the lack of awards at the State and National level hurt my application for schools like Penn? (The only national award I have/will have is National AP Scholar, btw)</p>
<p>No, things like severe disciplinary action hurt your application. Lack of major awards simply doesn’t make your application stand out.</p>
