A quick definition of compulsory license:

Compulsory license is a special permission that allows people to use someone else's copyrighted work without asking for their permission. In return, they have to pay the owner some money called a royalty. This is mostly used for music, and if someone uses a song without permission, they can use Section 115 of the Copyright Act to protect themselves.

A more thorough explanation:

Compulsory license is a legal permission that allows someone to use copyrighted materials without getting the explicit permission of the copyright owner. In exchange for using the material, the person using it has to pay a royalty fee to the copyright owner.

For example, if a musician wants to use a song that is copyrighted by someone else, they can get a compulsory license to use it. This means they don't have to ask the copyright owner for permission, but they do have to pay a fee to use the song.

Another example is if a company wants to use a patented invention, they can get a compulsory license to use it. This means they don't have to ask the patent owner for permission, but they do have to pay a fee to use the invention.

Compulsory licenses are created by law and are meant to balance the rights of copyright owners with the needs of the public. They allow people to use copyrighted materials for certain purposes, such as education or research, without having to get permission from the copyright owner.

Yeah, 7sage has a page that talks about the questions for each schools interview, GULC's seems unique
13:15
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
