Some awards matter (IMO and the like) and may give you an edge. But, as someone else said, the types of awards that significantly influence admissions decisions are awarded to a very small number of students relative to the total number of kids applying to these schools (i.e. most applicants will not have received one of them). The lack of an award shouldn’t deter you from applying and it won’t be the reason if you aren’t admitted.
