If you have a moment and don't mind reviewing my short SOP, please leave your email address and I'll send it to you. I really appreciate any constructive criticism, no matter how harsh....

Thank you both for your response. Everything you said was what I was suspecting so thanks for confirming it for me. I am still a bit leery about listing the scholarship because the CV form we fill out says: Academic awards received. I suppose if I didn't accept it then technically it wasn't received... so I suppose I should just list it as offered. Oh its all so tricky....

I have a couple things I am struggling with regarding my CV and SOP. If anyone can help I would be very grateful. 1. The first two years of my degree were completed at a university and then I transferred to another school to complete my degree. For those two years I was on either the presidents or deans list. (different semesters) should I list this under academic honors? if so should it be like: Deans list (Sept 2008-December 2008) etc.? 2. When I came to the second university I was in lou of my high GPA I was offered a $2000 presidents entrance scholarship. However, to fulfill certain degree requirements I was forced to take a couple classes from the local college (because the university classes were full) and I therefore wasn't enrolled in enough credits to accept the scholarship. Can I somehow list it as a scholarship i was offered? 3. At my first school because of my good grades i was offered a position working for the university as a tutor. i did a couple days of paid training but never ended up tutoring anyone. Can i list that as a job I had? I had an employee number, received a paycheck and T4, but never actually did any tutoring.... 4. Last question: at the university I attend the GPA conversion is 80-85 = 3.7. I will be evaluated solely on my last 60 credits which I calculated to be precisely 79.8 Is that then 80% and thus 3.7 or must I say 3.1? If anyone can answer any of these questions I would be eternally thankful!
