A quick definition of at issue memorandum:

An at issue memorandum is a legal document that tells everyone involved in a court case that they don't agree on something and that they need to go to trial to figure it out. It lists all the things they don't agree on and how long the trial might take. It's usually filed after the person being sued responds to the lawsuit and it means that the case is ready to go to trial.

A more thorough explanation:

An at issue memorandum is a legal document that is filed in a civil case. It is used to inform the court that all parties involved in the case have been served and that they are in disagreement over one or more points that need to be resolved at trial.

The at issue memorandum includes all of the issues that will be tried in court, as well as an estimated time required for the trial. It is usually filed after the defendant responds and indicates that the case is ready to go to trial.

For example, in a personal injury case, the plaintiff may file an at issue memorandum stating that they are in disagreement with the defendant over the amount of damages that should be awarded. The memorandum would list all of the issues that need to be resolved at trial, such as the extent of the plaintiff's injuries and the amount of medical expenses incurred.

Another example would be in a breach of contract case, where the plaintiff may file an at issue memorandum stating that they are in disagreement with the defendant over whether the contract was breached and the amount of damages that should be awarded.

These examples illustrate how an at issue memorandum is used to inform the court that the parties are in disagreement over one or more points that need to be resolved at trial.

Idk how much of an effect it has on admissions chances but should be cool either way
ive heard the conversion rate for gulc group interview is pretty high even moreso if you have the stats
it's hard to say but i've also heard that the group interview is harder to get than the alumni interview. but who really knows tbh
im p sure they don't interview everyone and getting one this early should be a great sign!

This is obviously not true for UVA. Past years show they don't send any non A results until December
