I don’t think any seminary (diaspora or EY) will take someone that hasn’t officially converted yet. Keep in mind before converting you cannot halachically keep shabbos to the full extent, but would be required to immediately after conversion as well as in seminary. I’m not sure a frum seminary would accept anyone if they didn’t keep shabbos/yom tov fully before arriving. It’s a spiritual liability. Also know theres no real emergency unless someones life is at risk that you are responsible for. If theres anyone that relies on you for anything else, its best to start explaining to them the times you’d be unavailable going forward and that theres no compromises (unless its pikuach nefesh)

I’d suggest learning as much Hebrew as possible, or at the very least be able to read fluently. Seminary will not have transliterated text (only really for siddur, tehillim, maybe chumash etc.), but in beginner classes or even intermediate they do help translate.
