At the age of four, Worcester Prep junior Ethan Scheiber told his parents he wanted to be a veterinarian. Since the age of 13, Scheiber has accumulated more than 500 volunteer hours at the Worcester County Humane Society. At the age of 16, his boyhood dreams came to fruition this past summer in Massachusetts while participating in the Adventures in Veterinary Medicine High School Program at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University, one of the most progressive and well-regarded veterinary schools in the country. Scheiber submitted an extensive application and was one of only 80 high school students selected from hundreds of applicants across the country to attend this highly competitive program. He is pictured in his AP Chemistry class.
