dascholar,

“notjoe, you might not like it and you may consider it inappropriate,…”

I really couldn’t care less. I’ve merely noted that whatever YOU might call it, it’s a school award that in your parts seems to be celebrated on a regional basis. That’s nice.

"…but students get into Harvard, MIT, or Stanford even though they have classified their HPB award as a ‘Regional Award/Honor’ on their Common App."

Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.

It may be that admissions folks overlook this little piece of puffery when they see an otherwise good applicant.
