Term: IGNORANTIA FACTI

Definition: Ignorantia facti means not knowing or being unaware of a fact. It is a Latin term that refers to a lack of knowledge about something that is true or has happened. For example, if someone is not aware that a law has been passed, they may unknowingly break that law. Ignorantia facti is different from ignorantia juris, which means not knowing the law itself.

A more thorough explanation:

IGNORANTIA FACTI

Ignorantia facti means ignorance of fact. It is a Latin term used to describe a lack of knowledge or understanding about a particular fact or situation.

For example, if someone is not aware that a particular law exists, they may unknowingly break that law. This is considered ignorantia facti because they did not have knowledge of the law.

Another example is if someone believes a false rumor to be true and acts on that belief. They are ignorantia facti because they did not have accurate information about the situation.

These examples illustrate how a lack of knowledge or understanding about a fact or situation can lead to mistakes or misunderstandings.

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
