<p>start one! if you have any questions about it pm me. a mun club takes time and effort to create, but its payoffs are great. at my school, mun now has 250 members and sends about 140 to UPenn and W&M, so there is a big need for organization and good leadership. Our SG and USG last year are going to major in poli sci at Yale and Harvard, respectively, and I'm sure that your genuine interest in MUN can help you achieve the goals you desire.</p>
<p>I like MUN but not my cup of tea as a career. Research/Consulting/Business for me!</p>
<p>"local conferences have no real competition so i suggest attending a national conference. "</p>
<p>haha unless you're from southern california!!! there's tons of MUN programs here, with several really powerful ones in orange county or other beach cities. some of the biggest ones have a membership of 300+. there's on average more than 1 local conference held by high schools every month too... and then there's colleges and travel conferences! </p>
<p>if your school is in california, you're in luck, cuz there's a high concentration of conferences. contrary to what confidential said, i think if you're going to start a new MUN club, i suggest trying to attend one or two local conferences first. you'll learn all the MUN stuff better/easier without having to face tough competition that will kill your delegates. but eventually, do attend a big national conference, because those are the best ones and like confidential said, they are both challenging and enlightening.</p>
<p>As no one has posted information on this, I'll take a shot at it:</p>
<p>Foreign service entrance consists of many parts. First, of course, is the written examination, a multitude of questions relating to international and national culture, basically general knowledge. Topics can go anywhere from the location of Azerbajian in proximity to other countries to the effect of McCullough v. Maryland.</p>
<p>If you score sufficiently on the written examination, then you go up for the oral examination. Once the oral examination is complete, a list of candidates eligible for hire is posted. Foreign service personnel are then hired from the list, providing medical and security clearance is verified. </p>
