Piyush Jindal was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Amar and Raj Jindal, who came to the United States as immigrants from India.[1]
Jindal attended Baton Rouge Magnet High School, graduating in 1988. "He always had his eye on, first of all, where he wanted to go, and second, how he was going to get there," said a former teacher. He competed in tennis tournaments, started a computer newsletter, a retail candy business, and a mail-order software company. He spent his free time working at the concession stands during LSU football games.[6] Jindal was one of 50 students nationwide admitted to the elite PLME program at Brown University, guaranteeing him a place in medical school. His interest was in public policy. Moved by a sense of indebtedness to his father, who overcame abject poverty in his native India and wanted his eldest son to become a doctor, Jindal completed a second major in biology. He graduated in 1991 at the age of 20, with honors in both majors.[7][8]
Jindal was named a member of 1992 USA Today All-USA Academic Team. He was accepted by both Harvard Medical School and Yale Law School, but studied at New College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar. He received an M.Litt. degree in political science with an emphasis in health policy from the University of Oxford in 1994 for his thesis "A needs-based approach to health care".[7] He turned down an offer to study for a D.Phil. in politics,[9][10] but instead joined the consulting firm McKinsey & Company.
