I hope we can both be Polar Bears! I applied RD too. good luck!! :)</p>

<p>russia for mun!?? ohh man i really am jealous. thimun was great, but ive always wanted to go to russia, half my family’s from there. what’s the name of the conference?</p>

<p>And thanks to both of you! haha ny4chelsea is a friend of mine, of course hed say that lol</p>

<p>that’s so cool! I just went to CIMUN (Chicago) and met a couple of people who went to THIMUN too! the one in Russia is called SPIMUN and is in St. Petersburg.</p>

<p>well if spimun is close to as much fun as thimun was im suree youll have a great time!</p>

<p>I would say your chances are pretty good. I think if you’re planning to continue a lot of your ECs then you have a solid shot at Bowdoin, like if the school knows you’ll keep playing violin and doing community service then they’ll want you more.
Also, I’m not sure that Bowdoin has a college MUN program, but the government department is really great, if you’re interested in taking classes.
As a side note, just know that it’s not super easy to get to Upstate NY to Brunswick–your options are basically drive or a really long bus ride or flying (eh). I’m from CNY and it’s a haul. But it’s totally worth it for the school.</p>
