Can an application be TOO focused?

I only have 1 EC. But I’ve done it for a long time and it’s become multi-faceted, within it I have leadership, work exp, community service, and awards. Filling out the commonapp I’m starting to feel like it’s over the top though. My ECs section is filled with it, my short answer is about the community service part, “additional information” is filled with the awards, and my main essay is also about it.

So my question is, can being too focused hurt?
