A quick definition of United Nations General Assembly:

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) is a group of representatives from all 192 countries in the United Nations. They talk about how to keep peace in the world, make suggestions about how to solve problems between countries, and work together to make the world a better place. They also decide how much money each country should give to the United Nations and choose important leaders for the organization.

A more thorough explanation:

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) is one of the five main parts of the United Nations. It has representatives from all 192 countries that are members of the UN. The UNGA has many important jobs:

  • To talk about and suggest ways to keep peace and security in the world, including getting rid of weapons
  • To talk about any problems that might hurt peace and security in the world, and suggest ways to fix them
  • To talk about and suggest ways to make international laws and human rights better
  • To suggest ways to help countries work together in areas like health, education, and culture
  • To suggest ways to solve problems between countries without fighting
  • To listen to reports from other parts of the United Nations
  • To decide how much money each country should give to the United Nations
  • To choose some of the people who work for the United Nations, like the Secretary-General

For example, the UNGA might talk about how to stop countries from making nuclear weapons. Or they might talk about how to help countries that are having problems with their economies. They might also talk about how to make sure that people all over the world have the same rights and freedoms.

i heard the group interview is really chill and I'm kinda excited to do it
seems cool

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!

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