Education & Reference - 20 November 2007

I got 5 A's and 3 B's on my IGCSE's. (International General Certificate of Secondary Education.)
Can somebody (Ehem... Ranto the Great ) please convert this to the American G.P.A. format? I'm doing my senior year in the US and I have to submit my university applications. Also, can you tell me if I have a chance with these universities?

NYU (1st choice)
Cornell
Carnegie Mellon
Boston University
Fordham
Pace
CUNY Baruch

My SAT scores were 1820. (1210/1600). I could only do the test once because I still have to do my SAT IIs before I can meet the university deadlines.

Any and all advice/help/answers will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Well, I'm a sophomore in high school right now and decided I'd just start to open up my horizon and take a look at some schools. I'm a good student, 3.9 GPA and I'm in a higher level math course right now. I've looked around and found some very high-level schools. Harvard, MIT, Stanford, CalTech, and Berkeley are the ones I'm shooting for. I was wondering if there are any other (possibly cheaper!) math colleges out there. I'll take any ideas.

If you could participate in a hot debate over the need for a new definition of a planet...
What would be the main point you'd argue? Would you be for or against it?, why and why not?, and where is your stance in the controversy it's created surrounding Pluto? Was demoting Pluto...the right decision?, why or not?
