Pretend to be black to get into med school, Rajs.

I know, right?

Also to apply to medical school you have to have your transcripts sent from your undergrad school directly to the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS). You can't just send your transcripts directly to the Med school you wish to apply to. That said AMCAS will spend 2-4 weeks verifying your transcript to make sure you're not forging anything so for him to really pull this off he would need someone from his undergrad records and registration department to conspire with him and send out these fake transcripts to AMCAS.




That's what I'm thinking too. He's basically just cashing in on failing out of med school at this point.

Another major hole is that med schools want to see certain courses on your transcript..he didn't major in a science.

is @Napoleon avoiding this thread

If someone adds "black atheist" to the title, he'll be over here in a flash.

I put him in with Bobby Jindal, Dinesh D'Souza.

And @Mephistopheles

Also, if two people have the same scores, and one grew up middle class who had access to great resources (like many Indian-Americans do), and one grew up in a poor community (like many African-Americans do), the African-American applicant is clearly the stronger candidate.

Applying to med school is no joke and my sister spent $7000 just to apply. Correction, I spent $7000 and I'm glad she got in because I would hate to have to do it again lol. It cost money for the initial application, secondaries, plane tickets for interviews, and money for hotels because you'll be interviewing all over the country.

She spent so many hours volunteering in the community (500 hours), volunteering at the local hospital (another 500 hours), and helping a professor out with their research for two semesters just so she could say she has experience in research. During the summer she also studied every day for 10 hours for the mcat because the competition to get in is THAT serious.

And this is on top of maintaining a 3.5+ gpa. You really need someone to support you through the application process because you can't hold a job when you're spread that thin. And tbh, not many african americans have that sort of support. My parents are spread too thin to support her like this so I had to step in.

Anyways, indians are prestige whores and mainly go into medicine for a fat paycheck. They could really give a fukk about patient care.

How did he get a new SSN?

So, the people doing the med school interviews were to stupid and couldn't tell it was the same guy during the interviews.


I hope this comes back on his sister lol.

I doubt it.

I call total and utter bullshyt.

In the tall tale that he is spinning on conservative news this week, Chokalingam neglects a few critical details. First of all, Chokalingam fails to emphasize that he was rejected from or waitlisted to most of the medical schools he applied to: Columbia University, Cornell University, George Washington University, Mount Sinai, University of Nebraska, Nobay, University of Pittsburgh, University of Rochester, University of Pennsylvania, Washington University, University of Wisconsin, Yale University, and Case Western. In addition, Chokalingam withdrew his application from a few schools midway through the application process, likely when he realized that rejections from these schools would go against his anti-affirmative action agenda; those include: Vanderbilt University and Harvard University.

Finally, Chokalingam makes hay out of the fact that he received an invitation to apply from other schools based on his MCAT score — mostly lower-tier schools such as Ohio University’ School of Homeopathic Medicine — without noting that he likely received those letters for no other reason than because his MCAT score actually was within the range acceptable to these schools. As anyone who has taken any sort of standardized test — SAT, LSAT or MCAT — knows, exam providers sell our information to low-level schools for the purposes of recruiting applicants, and unsolicited invitation letters and other materials are sent regardless of one’s score. Chokalingam is literally trying to make a big deal out of his junk mail.

There’s one problem with that assessment: St. Louis University School of Medicine isn’t that great a medical school (sorry, SLU grads).

Chokalingam’s application, while mediocre, is not weak enough to disqualify him from finding a middle-tier medical school — such as SLU — that would accept him having nothing to do with whether he lied or was honest about his race. His MCAT score was a 31Q which put him in the top 17th percentile of test-takers, and within a point of the average MCAT score of SLU’s incoming freshman class. Although his GPA was lower than the average GPA of those admitted to SLU, he was applying from one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country (GPA is weighted during holistic review according to quality of undergraduate institution) and his academic record suggested that his GPA was low but improving. Also, as an economics major who has interned in a political campaign, Chokalingam hailed from an unusual academic background that would have caught the eye of admissions officials.

(To complicate the matter, Chokalingam freely admits that his Blackface failed to convince schools he interviewed with. So how could he have been accepted into medical school by lying about his race, when no one was fooled by his racial makeup?)

Herein lies the problem with this twisted “social experiment”: its utter lack of scientific rigor. When scientists conduct social experiments, they provide appropriate controls — the same resume, for example, submitted under different ethnically-coded names — so that we can account for confounding factors. Chokalingam’s story is an “experiment” without a control: it is literally impossible to draw any conclusions from his narrative other than how much of a pure racist Chokalingam is. This may be why Chokalingam has failed to do anything more meaningful with his life: he ultimately washed out of SLU after two years attending in Blackface as “Jojo Chokalingam”. Having I guess never learned the basics of the scientific method, he is now a “resume coach“.

On the question of Chokalingam’s racist asshattery, however, this “social experiment”‘s results are highly convincing. What kind of an a$$hole lies to medical schools to try and become a doctor? What kind of a racist thinks that donning Blackface — Chokalingam says he shaved his head and trimmed his eyelashes to pretend he was Black; I guess the shoe polish was still in the mail — is acceptable behaviour? What kind of desperate social hanger-on name-drops his famous sister at any given opportunity, and revels in his status as an AAPI wedge minority? Who yearns for social acceptance so much that he’s willing to play the token “model minority” minstrel for the Conservative Right?

Clearly, the only person who would do all of this is someone who’s entire life has only been relevant as a distant orbiter of his much more interesting sister, Mindy Kaling. Vijay Chokalingam’s tall tale of Blackface — if not an utter fabrication — is merely the latest effort by to distinguish himself as anyone more than “Mindy Kaling’s disappointing brother who really, really, really wants to be cool”.

straight up some fucboi shyt..

ughh... another good point.


Also tuition + room and board at his school is $70,000. I have a hard time believing that he borrowed $140000 in school loans while busting his ass in med school for two years just for the sake of activism.

I hope this bytch goes to jail. And send his Teletubby shaped sister there too just for the fukk of it.

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

fukk this indian cac. Medical schools use race as a preference because THERE IS A HUGE NEED FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN DOCTORS IN AMERICA. Black communities are about the sickest communities in AMerica, leading the stats in categories like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and other maladies. This is the case due to a variety of factors, with discrimination and marginalization they face courtesy of the medical community being one of them.

So a black person with average scores has a higher chance of admittance than an average cac or average habeeb because AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE SORELY UNREPRESENTED IN MEDICINE! The fact of the matter is, when cacs or indian folk graduate from med school, they are more likely going to practice in affluent (white communities). Meanwhile, african american doctors are more likely to practice in African american communities. Med school deans know this, so they try and attract strong black candidates whenever they can.

Its that simple

you can do the premed curriculum in a year

a bunch of premeds major in weaker shyt than economics

 

[jwinfield]

So essentially, this dude got denied by every med school except one, a mediocre at best medical school, with grades/test scores that fall within the school's acceptable range and with his economic major, more than likely stood out from other applicants and he's saying he was only accepted because he pretended to be black
