I’m firm believer, wehn there’s a will, there’s a way. If you really did research.. and this is really what you want.. then do as much as you can ot get in. Write them a personal letter as to why you wnat to go there. Get teachers, role models , parents to write too! try and find contats who are already there and can put in a good word for you.
But don’t forget, with such a huge Alumni, they do hae a lot of ‘chiuvim’ like students children etc
ps. Rabbi Simcha Kohn (pronounced Korn, who’s father started the Seminary) is the main Head and Rabbi Todros Miller (son of Rabbi Mordechai Miller z”l) is the 2nd one.
and don’t forget your pull UP ABOVE in SHOMAYIM!
