cellioI talked with my rabbi tonight and asked whether his sending me the brochure was an offer of sponsorship. (Each student needs a sponsoring rabbi.) He said yes.
Woo hoo! I am going to ask for more information about the curriculum from them, but at this point I intend to apply.
Logistics foo (ever the practically-minded...):
When I said "sponsorship" my rabbi initially thought I was talking about money. No, I don't think that will be a problem. (I'm assuming that tuition is paid one year at a time.)
Mid-July works just fine.
Due to my hoarding policy (combined with a generous company policy on holidays), I actually do have enough vacation time to be able to do this this year. (If push comes to shove I can shave a couple days off of Pennsic, but I'd rather not.)
I assume there are buses or trains or something between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Nope, not gonna drive that far alone. No idea how big the program is or whether anyone else from Pittsburgh will go. I don't think there'll be anyone else from my congregation.
They have a non-trivial list of points to be answered in an essay of two to four pages, double-spaced. Ah, a challenge.
Why in the world do they want photos as part of the application? Shrug. I can get someone to take a couple pictures of me, I'm guessing. :-)

Usually the sort of picture required with college applications is a passport-sized photo, but they don't seem to specify, so I dunno. You'd think that if it had a publishing purpose, they'd specify size and/or format.
