independent force

Read a random definition: corporate governance

A quick definition of independent force:

An independent force is a type of power or pressure that is not caused by the actions of a person. It can be a physical force, like a strong wind or earthquake, or a legal force, like a court order. Other types of force include actual force, which is a violent act, and reasonable force, which is appropriate for protecting oneself or one's property. It is important to understand the different types of force and when they can be used, as some types of force may be illegal or harmful.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Independent force refers to a type of force that is not caused by the actions of the person using it. It is a force that is not stimulated by a situation created by the actor's conduct.

  • If a person is walking down the street and a tree branch falls on them due to strong winds, the force of the falling branch is an independent force.
  • If a person is driving their car and another car crashes into them, the force of the impact is an independent force.

These examples illustrate how independent force is not caused by the actions of the person affected by it. In both cases, the person did not do anything to cause the force to occur, but they were still affected by it.

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!
