How to Get into UC Berkeley

Hello delegates!

Worried about college applications? Trying to get into UC Berkeley?

Here is the secret formula to get into the renowned University of California, Berkeley!

Just kidding! But I promise that come Sunday afternoon of conference, we will leave ample time to answer questions about our college experience, life at Berkeley, and our high school college application struggles :)

Before worrying about submitting that college application, I encourage you to focus on doing well and having fun during BMUN conference by first reviewing our topic synopsis! A quick second glance-through can do wonders for you come conference.

Something I have noticed throughout my years working with delegates is that showing sincere hard work and effort into everything you do, such as Model UN, will ultimately pay-off in the long run. I promise you, the work you put in now will shine through on your college essays later. Just think about it! If you are putting Model UN on your college application, wouldn't it be great to genuinely write about a valuable experience that you learned from rather than struggle to write about something that you slept through? Conference is not only a chance for you to debate on two very important topics regarding the Middle East, but is also an opportunity for you to grow as an individual, and that's something you should definitely take advantage of!

 All the best!

Resource: Palestinians in Israel

Hello once again delegates! The entire dais of the OIC is looking forward to reviewing and offering you feedback on your position papers in the next week or so. We appreciate your hard work and diligent research, and we cannot wait to meet you all at conference March 1st! In the meanwhile, we have found a good resource for you all as you continue to prepare for upcoming debate! One of the most important details mentioned in Serena’s topic synopsis on the Israel-Palestine Conflict is the notion of the Arab-Palestinian identity. Essentially, despite technically living within the state of Israel, Palestinians have wholly split from the Israeli identity due to the various social and cultural differences between the two groups. This growing divide, compounded by recent rises in Palestinian nationalism and a so-called “national awakening,” fortunes for a one-state solution have collapsed while societal tensions have skyrocketed. The article linked below details how specific, vital

Resource: Women’s Activism in the Maghreb

Hello once again delegates! The entire dais of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has been busy grading your papers this past week and putting the final touches on committee planning and we are honestly so thrilled with all of your work and can’t wait till conference-time to see you guys in action! For my final blog post, I wanted to focus on an angle of the first topic that doesn’t typically receive as much traffic as it should. When we analyze the specific workings of the OIC and its member states, we tend to overanalyze (which is, at times, necessary) the Middle East when the OIC, in reality, covers much of the MENA region, which also includes Northern Africa or, as it is alternatively known, the Maghreb. The Maghreb exists in an extremely unique position geographically and culturally; many of the Muslim-majority members of the Maghreb - Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia in particular - form a unique bloc due to relative proximities of Europe and the Middle Eas

Hello delegates! At this point, I am assuming that you have fully read through our topic synopsis and have also turned in your wonderful, amazing position papers addressing both the empowerment of Muslim women and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. First of all, I am super proud of you all! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to immerse yourself within these topics -- they are not easy subjects to debate upon, and I am extremely impressed by your ongoing dedication and enthusiasm. Now all that's left is to freshen up on BMUN procedure and gather more data through the lens of your assigned country! To help you out a little before conference, I have decided to discuss a hot topic in ongoing Israeli-Palestinian negotiations -- U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Why might this be important, how is this relevant to our committee? Funny you should ask! Our topic synopsis covers the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the lens of environme
