Greetings. First off, you may, at times, find this particular forum slightly impolite to outright hostile to the fact that you have chosen the Reform sect. Don't let it bother you, as you'll find it less true in real life. There are actually plenty of Reform Jews around, they're just less vocal.

Here is what you can expect if your process was anything like mine:

The whole "turned down by a rabbi" thing is a myth in my experience. During my conversion process, I was challenged on many occasions to address why I wanted to convert and to prove that my heart was in the right place, but I was never denied.

You will probably have to attend classes to start with. These will cover the history of Judaism and the people in general, the differences between the different sects of Judaism and specifically why Reform Jews do things the way they do. In addition to this, you'll have some pretty intensive study as to the basics of Jewish customs, prayers, etc. You will likely be required to attend Shabbat services every week and certainly the high holidays.

I was subjected to evaluations by all the members of the Beit Din. If you don't know what that is, it's a group of people who will judge your fitness to join the ranks of Judaism. In my case, this involved speaking on several occasions with both of my Rabbis as well as the education director at our temple. The conversations were highly personal in nature, but not intrusively so. In addition to this, I had to visit with a counselor from JFS. Mostly they do this to assure you aren't in any kind of emotional or psychological morass that would make you a poor candidate for conversion. To my knowledge, you are welcome to continue with the process even if you don't pass muster at this point, but they might reserve the right to ask you to seek further counseling before they'll let you convert. In addition to all this, there was a support group led by two converts where we could discuss any issues we were having with the conversion process. It was stressed that discussions in the support group would not "make it back" to the Rabbis, so if you had any questions you were too embarrassed to ask, or wanted to bitch a little if it was difficult, you were welcomed to do so without repercussions.

After about six months of weekly classes on Judaica, I had a further six weeks of intense Hebrew classes. You won't walk away from these classes with anything more than a working knowledge of how to read and a small vocabulary. Further classes were offered after this (which I took), but weren't a requirement for conversion. In my experience, most people can get by with what you learn in the intro Hebrew class but you'll appreciate further classes and they'll help you enjoy services more, so take them if they are available. If you ever want to make your bat mitzvah, you'll need all the Hebrew you can get, so take advantage of what's available to you.

I had to do a final examination consisting of several essay questions. It was open book, open note. It was supposed to be exceedingly difficult but I finished it in maybe an hour or so. Our classes were great and so I knew all the factual stuff by heart. The thought-provoking questions were, for the most part, things I'd already asked of myself, so I pretty much knew all of the answers. Bottom-line here, pay attention in the classes. This stuff is important, and as it turns out, there was a test on it.

After you've done all of this, the Beit Din will do a final review of your conversion process. If you've "passed" you'll go to a Mikvah which is usually just like a small body of water or a pool fed by a natural source. Here you'll strip down naked and be immersed a few times and say some prayers.

I'm assuming you are female based on the user name, but if you are a guy, before you go to the Mikvah you'll either need to be circumcised or, if you already are, they may perform a small ceremony to basically make your circumcision officially Jewish.

After this, you'll probably have a small ceremony attended by friends and family to make your conversion finalized.

Here are a few random tips: 1) All of the above should be illuminated by your rabbi or whoever is teaching the conversion class. There were no surprises. I knew everything that would be involved within a week of beginning.

2) Enjoy yourself! This is a special time and you'll be learning lots of new and interesting things. If you are converting on your own, find a friend in the class to get to know.

3) Get to know the "shalom committee", the welcome committee, or the member services director at your temple/synagogue. You will best enjoy your experience if you find some people who are already active and make them your friends. Start with a small group of socially active folks, and they'll slowly introduce you around.

4) If you are a little nervous about the Hebrew, and have even the slightest level of vocal talent, consider asking if you can join the choir (if they have one). I learned most of the prayers way earlier than the rest of my class by singing them.

5) Don't be afraid to ask questions. One thing I've noticed is that you have nearly unfettered access to your rabbis during this period to ask questions. Take advantage of this!

Sorry for the wall of text, but it's a pretty big question. I was disappointed by the lack of real answers here, so I thought I'd try to give you a real answer.
