    I've pretty-much given up on making a proper decision as to which college/course I want to attend.... so I just stuck random ones from about 12 categories on the CAO and hope my points can choose for me.

    Anyone else as lost as I am?

    Business with Japanese.

    No idea why. I like reading Japanese comics so I thought, why not?

    I wouldn't have recommended this sort of option to anyone but it's 50-50. You'll either love the course you may get or you'll hate it.

    Business with Japanese though is an interesting one though and I assume you've studied Japanese as part of your LC. If not I'd recommend you get out a 'Japanese for Dummies' book and study some basics or you may struggle.

    For my CAO I chose the course I wanted to do but further down in the list I chose random courses to fill it up. I know exactly what I want to do but when I was in school I remember the guidance counsellor telling me to fill it up so I obliged but not before picking my intended course.

    was that really clever? not sure filling up the CAO just to have something down is the brightest...

    All my CAO choices have a common theme running through them, but I guess I've known what I want to do since the end of first year more or less

    hope you like the course you get, if not, get out before Christmas because then you'll only have to pay a half year of fees when you change instead of the full year.

    If you aren't sure when offers come out, defer your place and work/do a PLC for the year
