Is it good to put the awards to the personal statement?

DS is currently working on his personal statement, and I'm wondering whether it's advisable to include awards like the BMO medal or Computing Challenge medal in the personal statement

I've just realised that Cambridge asks applicants to fill out the SAQ form as well. So, there's no need to mention any BMO/BIO awards in the personal statement at all.

But other unis will be interested to hear about his Maths achievements. Try not to focus on just the one uni unless it's Cambridge or nothing if you are an international student
