A quick definition of pari causa, in:

Term: PARI CAUSA, IN

Definition: In pari causa means "in an equal case" in Latin. It is used to describe a situation where two parties have equal rights or are equally affected by a particular case. In such a case, the person who possesses something usually wins over the person who does not possess it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In a case affecting two parties equally or in which they have equal rights.

Example: In a dispute over property ownership, if both parties have equal evidence to support their claim, the possessor (the one currently in possession of the property) will usually win the case. This is because they have equal rights in the matter, and in pari causa, the possessor typically defeats the nonpossessory claimant.

This legal term means that when two parties have equal rights or claims in a matter, the one who is currently in possession of the property or object in question will usually win the case. This is because they have an equal footing in the dispute, and the law tends to favor the person who is already in possession of the item.

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

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