<p>hard to say without SAT... you gotta diagnostic?</p>

3

<p>is food technology just like a highly robotic home ec course or what</p>

4

<p>Wharton loves the international kids. </p>

<p>Everything looks really good, just need those sat scores to back up everything you've done. They are also pretty big on the EC's, especially starting your own business.</p>

5

<p>Food Technology is like to do with catering and hotel management kinda.</p>

<p>WOW starting my own business - that's crazy, how would I do that? I mean one of my friends has, he does trading - but I have no idea what I should do...any help PLEASE? </p>

<p>I don't have a diagnostic SAT score on me, but i'll post my SAT score tonight - it comes out tonight</p>

<p>THANKS GUYS :)</p>
