Some Penn Manor seniors were, or still are, unsure of their plans for next year.

Eric Bear didn’t know what he was going to do about college due to a cruise he was taking that would have caused him to miss the first week of freshman classes.

“I didn’t know what I was going to do, but then I got the opportunity to go to study abroad in Paris so I’m doing that,” Bear said.

Ella Perry is attending Temple University next year, but she could have been in trouble had she not gotten in because that was the only school she applied to. For Perry, a school accepting applications late in the year might have been an option.

“I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t gotten in, I would’ve scrambled,” Perry said.

Hannah Willett is still not sure what she is doing next year, but forgetting to apply to schools was not a problem for her.

“I applied to colleges and got accepted but just decided I didn’t want to go,” Willett said.

Willett said the schools still accepting applications do not interest her.

Whether you’re planning on going to college or not, universities still accepting applications allow you to keep your options open.
