He Couldn’t Land a Job Interview. Was AI to Blame?

A Dartmouth medical student with strong credentials received no residency interview offers and suspects AI screening played a role.

He believes a free screening tool may have misread his Medical Student Performance Evaluation and treated medically required leaves as voluntary.

The possible error could have made programs view his application more negatively and reject him before interviews.

The case raises broader concerns about hidden bias, bad data, and automation in high-stakes admissions and hiring decisions.
