A quick definition of mental shock:

Mental shock is a sudden and strong disturbance of the mind that can happen when something very sad or very happy happens. It can make a person feel very upset or overwhelmed. Physical shock is when the body is suddenly injured or hurt, while mental shock is when the mind is suddenly hurt or affected. Shock probation and shock incarceration are different things that are not related to mental shock.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Mental shock is a sudden and intense disturbance of the mind that can be caused by extreme emotions or experiences.

Examples:

  • Witnessing a traumatic event, such as a violent crime or a natural disaster, can cause mental shock.
  • Receiving unexpected news, such as the sudden death of a loved one or a terminal illness diagnosis, can also cause mental shock.
  • Winning the lottery or achieving a lifelong goal can also cause mental shock due to the sudden and overwhelming rush of emotions.

These examples illustrate how mental shock can be caused by both negative and positive experiences that are sudden and intense. The mind is overwhelmed by the emotions and experiences, leading to a profound disturbance of the mental senses.

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!
13:16

This is obviously not true for UVA. Past years show they don't send any non A results until December
