Will this "Award" make me look worse?

If you’re going to send an update, I guess I would try to include everything in just one update. I would update just once, and be as clear and concise as possible.

My daughter left several awards and other stuff OFF her application in order to bring a sharper focus to what she wanted Brown to learn about her.

From Brown’s web site:

"You should include the achievements that make you feel particularly proud or that help to demonstrate your talents and interests. Keep in mind that a judiciously selected sampling may make a stronger impression than an exhaustive list.

For academic awards, please include enough detail so that we will understand the context of your accomplishment. For example, if you have won a poetry contest or placed high in a math competition, let us know in general terms the number of entrants or competitors and whether your award is an individual or a team achievement."
