Download Almost Black: The True Story of How I Got into Medical School by Pretending to Be Black AudioBook Free
I acquired into medical university by saying I had been dark-colored. I lied. Actually, I am about as dark-colored as my sister Mindy Kaling. Once upon a time, I had been an ethically challenged, hard-partying Indian-American frat youngster enjoying my third year of college. That is until I realized I didn't have levels or test results to get into medical university. Legitimately. Still, I had been determined to be a doctor and learned that affirmative action provided a loophole that might help. The one problem? I wasn't a minority. So I became one. I shaved my brain, trimmed my long Indian eyelashes, and applied as an DARK-COLORED. Not even my own frat brothers regarded me. I joined up with the business of African american Students and used my middle name, Jojo. Vijay, the Indian North american frat youngster, became Jojo, the DARK-COLORED affirmative action applicant. Not everything went as planned. Throughout a med university interview, an DARK-COLORED doctor angrily confronted me for not being dark-colored. Cops harassed me. Store clerks accused me of shoplifting. Women were either frightened of me or found my bald dark-colored dude look sexually mesmerizing. What started as a scam to get into med school converted into a twisted social experiment, instructing me lessons I would never have learned in the class. I became a significant contender at a few of America's greatest academic institutions, including Harvard College or university, Washington University, College or university of Pennsylvania, Case Western Reserve College or university, George Washington College or university, College or university of Pittsburgh, Yale College or university, College or university of Rochester, College or university of Nebraska Omaha, and Columbia College or university. I interviewed at 11 academic institutions while posing as a dark-colored man. After all that, I finally got accepted into medical university.
