Anecdotal, but I got into most of the T20s I applied to without any major awards (one language award that’s common at my school, and then a local-level chemistry recognition). However, I was doing unique activities at a high level, there were just no awards to recognize me or my peers. Lack of awards is not a reason to not apply.
