33 MCAT. Moderate B+ average as opposed to the preferred high B+, we’re not talking about getting in with a 2.0 or anything. Qualified, in other words. Meaning that even if he was telling the truth (and he’s not) he didn’t prove a thing.

Exactly. I love his usage of the word “myth” in this context of his own story, here. All he’s proven is that the system can also work for those who take unmitigatedly dishonest advantage of it. Nothing more.*

Chokal-Ingam says he’s revealing his race ruse now because he heard that UCLA is considering strengthening its affirmative-action admissions policies. He says it’s a myth that affirmative action benefits the underprivileged.

There is no way this dude had MCAT scores and undergraduate university grades under any name but his very own. There’s no way he has two versions and/or they didnt notice his MCAT scores were from some dude named Vijay Chokal-Ingam.

I write about it voluntarily, because it’s my responsibility to do so.

If you believe in affirmative action up until it affects you negatively, you don’t actually believe in affirmative action.

oh my god, i forgot about Ms. “I was too stupid to get into Texas and sued the university because of it”

I don’t even know if I should respond here, but I’m not sure people who believed this and wanted to defend it were simply lacking critical faculty.

Not just that, but also the fact that the schools will do an extensive background check, as well as the fact that to get duplicate records like that, you may have to get it notarized.

Even if he was telling the truth about this (lol nope) there is no evidence he got in because he pretended to be black. Also, he has a post on his site calling Abigail Fisher the Rosa Parks of our time. Go ahead and Google who that is in case you forgot who she was.

I honestly hope he realizes, in many medical schools across the country, Asians are not considered a minority, as there are far, far more Asian medical professional students, than Hispanics, Blacks, and Anerican-Indian/Pacific Islander.

Are you being sarcastic? Because the article I just read includes the words:

I just laughed in a really mean sounding way at that. This is hilarious, thank you.

HURR DURR ANNA MERLAN HANDED ME MY ASS A WHILE AGO AND IM STILL SAD HURR DURR APOLOGIZE. IM not a pathetic man baby without half the talent, experience, and credentials of Anna Merlan at allllllll.

Virginia Attorney General Mark R. Herring has also released a statement:

Ederly did fuck up. But that’s why you have editors and fact checkers and other fail safes to make sure you get the story right. This isn’t like the case of Stephen Glass or Jayson Blair, where the reporter was blatantly making shit up and then falsifying reporter notes to cover it. Here, the notes did not exist at…

Don’t apologise for defending her. You’re an excellent and professional reporter. The idea that she lacked so much due diligence did, at the time, seem ludicrous. I was right there with you and very embarrassed when she let everyone down with this bullshit.

It kills me that so many idiots will use this as a rallying cry to undermine efforts to fix a very real problem. I understand there is a very fine tight rope investigative journalists have to traverse but this, there were so many mistakes that didn't need to be made.

I am SO excited to write my first social post!!! OK- I JUST moved in with my boyfriend... like 4 hours ago, and he is out with my brother buying booze to hang out and I am SO happy. But also terrified. But mostly fucking elated... I feel so loved by so many people at the moment that I feel like I should share that…

I am on the early end of millennials (though I still steadfastly maintain that I am NOT A MILLENNIAL) and I always hated it. The kids are such fucking brats, the dads are terrible, the whole thing is shoddily crafted, and just HOW THE FUCK do they cram that many bedrooms into that skinny house? It’s all impossible!…
