"The irony is that I suspect that what the dad did in terms of quitting his job to help his son get into top colleges is probably something that would be greatly admired in Indian culture."

No, the irony is that having a parent that is incarcerated is a hook while having a parent who made sacrifices to drive his kid to his medical research job is a dealbreaker. And Asian parents are warped and have bizarre expectations because they don't immediately understand how this makes sense.
