Worth Including in Activities?

Just a quick question for you all. I woke up to an e-mail from my Organic Chemistry professor (writing a letter of rec for me) explaining I had broken my college's record for the best percentile score on the ACS Organic Standardized Exam. It's not an "official" award, as in I won't get a certificate or a plaque or anything, but I feel like it's a nice honor.

Is this worth including in my "honors/awards/recognitions" tab on AMCAS? I feel like it's one of those "Dean's List" activities that won't make a difference, but it might be wise to add because what could it hurt?

P.S. It's not like I scored in the 60th percentile; the percentile was above the 95th, so it has some significance, I guess.

Congrats on that!

I don't think I would though, but that's just my 2 cents.
I'm sure your your professor will include that in your LOR. So, it will be somewhere in your app.

That's what I was leaning towards, especially with him writing a LOR! Thanks!

Congrats to you, nice achievement. That LOR will rock.

Include it in your "honors/achievements/awards" activity!! Absolutely mention it.
