I have to update my CV for something I'm applying for and debating whether to include a couple of things. First, I was fortunate enough to receive merit scholarships from my school, but I'm not sure if I should include this on my CV for residency apps, etc. Second, is undergrad GPA something that belongs on a medical student CV?

You can if you want, but it's something that you'll probably want to remove post-residency (people will no longer care; they'll be more interested in physician-level awards and honors).

I don't think so.

Also want to add that the CV template provided by my school had a spot for scholarships and suggested putting the %?? I thought this sounded a bit off, so wanted to get more perspectives on this.
