A quick definition of connexity:

Term: CONNEXITY

Definition: Connexity means being connected. It is like when you have a puzzle and all the pieces fit together to make a picture. In some places, connexity is used to decide if a person or company from another place can be sued in that place. They can only be sued if what they did in that place caused the problem that the person is suing them for.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Connexity (kə-nek-sə-tee) refers to the quality of being connected or the state of being connected. In some states, it also expresses the relationship that must exist between a foreign party and the state for a plaintiff to maintain personal jurisdiction over the party. Generally, the claim must arise from a transaction connected with the activities of the party in the state.

Example 1: The connexity of the internet has made it possible for people to connect with each other from different parts of the world.

Example 2: In some states, connexity is used to determine whether a court has jurisdiction over a foreign corporation. For instance, if a corporation has conducted business in a state, and a plaintiff files a lawsuit against the corporation, the claim must be connected to the corporation's activities in the state for the court to have jurisdiction over the corporation.

Example 3: The connexity between the brain and the nervous system is crucial for the body to function properly. The brain sends signals to the nervous system, which then sends signals to different parts of the body to carry out specific functions.

These examples illustrate the concept of connexity, which refers to the quality of being connected or the state of being connected. In Example 1, the internet has made it possible for people to connect with each other from different parts of the world, highlighting the connectedness that exists between people. In Example 2, connexity is used to determine whether a court has jurisdiction over a foreign corporation, emphasizing the importance of a connection between the corporation and the state. In Example 3, the connexity between the brain and the nervous system is crucial for the body to function properly, underscoring the importance of a connection between different parts of the body for optimal performance.

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

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
