immediate intent

Read a random definition: odhal

A quick definition of immediate intent:

Immediate intent refers to the state of mind someone has when they commit a wrongful act. It is the part of their intention that is related to the act itself. For example, if someone steals something, their immediate intent is to take the item without permission. Immediate intent is different from ulterior intent, which is the reason behind the act. For example, if the thief stole the item to sell it and make money, that would be their ulterior intent.

A more thorough explanation:

Immediate intent refers to the state of mind accompanying a wrongful act, especially one that is forbidden by law. It is the mental resolution or determination to commit the act, regardless of the motive behind it. Immediate intent can be the sole or exclusive intent, one of several concurrent intents, the chief or dominant intent, or a determining intent.

For example, if someone intends to rob a bank, their immediate intent is to commit the act of robbery. The motive behind the act, such as financial gain or desperation, is immaterial when it comes to determining immediate intent.

Another example is larcenous intent, which is the state of mind of someone who knowingly takes away the goods of another without any claim or pretense of a right to do so, and intends to permanently deprive the owner of them or to convert the goods to personal use.

Understanding immediate intent is important in criminal law, as it helps to establish the mental state of the perpetrator and their culpability for the act committed.

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
