Would anyone be willing to critique my SOP for me? It's still going through revisions but I'd like some more input before I finalize it. Thank you!

I'm a double major in Biology & Biotechnology, and Biochemistry. When filling out this information on PhD applications, how do I list this information? Should I enter my undergrad institution twice (once for each major), or is there a better way?

When applying to graduate schools, is a CV or resume better? Or does it totally depend on this situation?
I'm an undergrad applying to biology PhD programs. My resume is one page and pretty strong. I feel that with the added space in my CV I was able to elaborate further and touch on things outside my biology related experience such as leadership roles and my involvement in organizational leadership programs.
The only downside with the CV is that it is 2 pages vs 1 for a resume. Will this be extra and not read as close, or do you think the extra information will help me?
Thanks!

How do you put a double major on your application

In case anyone else has this issue, I emailed a the graduate office of a few of the schools that I'm applying to. They all said to list the undergrad institution twice (once for each major).
