Mindy Kaling's brother Vijay Chokal-Ingam is pictured right in both images as an Indian-American applicant (bottom) and as an African-American applicant (top). Chokal-Ingam was accepted to medical school by pretending to be an African-American applicant.
The big brother of Fox sitcom star Mindy Kaling reveals that he got into medical school by pretending to be African-American.
Fifteen years ago, Vijay Chokal-Ingam shaved off his straight black hair, trimmed what he calls his “long Indian eyelashes” and started checking off the “black” box for race on his med-school applications.
Before long, the Asian Indian-American was interviewing at Harvard and Columbia, and found himself on wait lists at the University of Pennsylvania, Washington University and Mt. Sinai — despite his relatively mediocre 3.1 GPA and his family’s considerable wealth.
