states' rights

Read a random definition: sober

A quick definition of states' rights:

States' Rights: This means that the states have certain powers that the federal government does not have. These powers are listed in the Tenth Amendment. It also means that the federal government cannot take away certain rights that belong to the states.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: States' rights refer to the powers and privileges that are reserved for individual states within the United States. These rights are not specifically granted to the federal government by the Constitution, nor are they prohibited to the states.

Example: One example of states' rights is the ability of individual states to regulate certain aspects of their own economies. For instance, some states may choose to set their own minimum wage rates or establish their own environmental regulations. Another example is the ability of states to determine their own laws regarding issues such as gun control or same-sex marriage.

These examples illustrate the concept of states' rights because they demonstrate how individual states have the power to make decisions that are specific to their own needs and values, without interference from the federal government. This allows for greater flexibility and diversity within the United States, as different states can experiment with different policies and approaches to governance.

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
