Scott/Omari:
Would it be considered "overlap" if i included my awards/recognitions in the "awards/recognition" section of the application if a) i've already included them in my resume and b) discussed "briefly in passing" in my essays.
Should i include the various aspects of these "high impact" awards [for e.g: monetary value in resume, awarded from a pool of x%, etc] in my "awards/recognition" section, "resume" and "essays" respectively. i dont want to run the risk of being seen as someone who is "one-dimensional".....In your opinion should i go with the "depth" Vs breadth" ?
depth = paint different aspects of the same award in different sections (essays, resume, "Award/Recognition Section"]
breadth = completely different awards, although they might not have the same sizzle as the "high impact" awards?

No, I think this is okay. They have the "Awards" section so that they can easily spot those achievements in your background. Even though most people will mention their awards in their resumes and sometimes even in their essays, I would definitely put them in the "Awards" section.
If I were to remove a reference anywhere in the app, I might remove the mention in your essays. If the awards re relevant to a theme that you're emphasizing in your essay, then keep them in there. For instance, if you are writing an essay about leadership and have received a leadership award, then definitely mention it. But don't just throw the awards in there for the sake of having the adcomms see them. That's what the "Awards" section is for. Mention them if they help the essay, but don't overdo it.

Thanks for the response. I have a follow up question. In your opinion would it make more sense to include the "same type" of awards in the "Awards and Recognition" Section. For instance stock options. Lets say as a part of my company's "pay for performance" motto, I've received stock options over the last 4-5 years each year because i was in the top 10% of my company's performance ranking.
I've also received "Special Recognitions" Awards that might not have the same monetary values but is a different "type" of award [e.g: Gift checks with a special recognition from a V.P - only 2 out of 300 people received this recognition].
In your opinion would it make sense to include the "special recognition" award over the "stock option" awards. Would "diversity" of awards be viewed better than "one dimensional" type of awards although the "one dimensional" award might have a greater monteary value?
