In 1998, Vijay Chokal-Ingam was “determined to become a doctor,” but his 3.1 GPA significantly reduced his chances. When he realized his application wouldn’t cut it, he came up with a back-up plan — he pretended to be black.
Chokal-Ingam, brother of famous actress Mindy Kaling, said he “knew that admission standards for certain minorities under affirmative action were, let’s say… less stringent.”
In a blog post, Chokal-Ingam explains how he ended up getting into the St. Louis University School of Medicine despite his low GPA and MCAT score:
So, I shaved my head, trimmed my long Indian eyelashes, and applied to medical school as a black man. My change in appearance was so startling that my own fraternity brother didn’t recognize me at first. I even joined the Organization of Black Students and started using my embarrassing middle name that I had hidden from all of my friends since I was a 9 years old.
Vijay the Indian-American frat boy become Jojo the African American Affirmative Action applicant to medical school.

She was on the show “The Office”.
I’ve never watched it but I know she was on it.
Or...
“Hello, this is Phil from Microsoft’s Technical Department calling about your Windows product.”
Yeah, except that it was Michelle who got into Princeton because she was black and not Barack.
I got to say that gave me a good laugh...lol
AKA Vera Mindy Chokalingam
Since when didn’t Obama go to Princeton ..??
She’s kinda cute with a cute voice. Regarding the article, this demonstrates why different admission standards for different races needs to be brought to an end.
You just know they want to do that to the guy. You just know it. If it was a white guy who somehow played their system on them it’d be the Indiana pizza parlor story.
No Princeton - that was Michelle.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama (if you can stomach it).
Where the heck did I get Princeton? I must have been thinking of Columbia.
Thanks for correcting that .. I appreciate it.
I though a picture would help, but it didn't.
And people HAVE THE NERVE to question me when I tell them that I want a doctor that HAS NOT gotten “any help” in getting to that position. In other words, a white, a Jew, or an Asian.
“Who the Hell id Mindy Kaling?”
I have the same question. Pictures please for an assessment.
Mindy Kaleng is not a famous actress....she’s a funny lady and she probably should be a bigger star than she is...but famous?...hardly...
Yeah, but maybe he's not into hot Pakistani guys...
Building that paper trail early.
See post 32. And I searched online and found other pics. I think she’s quite easy on the eyes. :)
Who is “famous actress” Mindy Kaling?
NBAA.
