Tufts-bound
Animal and veterinary sciences major Warren Varney of Turner, Maine; biochemistry major Bradie Manion of Old Town, Maine; and biological engineering major Daniel Gerges of Yarmouth, Maine, are the latest University of Maine students to receive early acceptance to Tufts University School of Medicine through the Maine Track Early Assurance program. Born of a partnership between Tufts and Maine Medical Center, the program reserves a limited number of seats per year for sophomores from University of Maine System institutions, and Bowdoin, Bates and Colby colleges. Last year, the first for Early Assurance, two UMaine students were accepted — Jonathan Pelletier and Aaron Perreault.
