A quick definition of model act:

A model act is a set of rules created by a group of people called the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. These rules are suggested as a guide for states to use when making their own laws. Some examples of model acts are the Model Employment Termination Act and the Model Punitive Damages Act.

A more thorough explanation:

A model act is a type of law that is created by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. It is designed to be a guideline for states to use when creating their own laws. States can either borrow from the model act or adapt it to fit their specific needs.

For example, the Model Employment Termination Act is a model act that provides guidelines for how employers should handle terminating an employee. The Model Punitive Damages Act is another model act that provides guidelines for how punitive damages should be awarded in a lawsuit.

These examples illustrate how model acts can be used to create consistent laws across different states. By using the same guidelines, states can ensure that their laws are fair and consistent with those of other states.

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
