Hey, I think you should take a more proactive approach. Here's my best advice, and what I did before I applied to SUSOM's September 2004 class.
Go to SABA's homepage and look at the "Residency/Alumni" section. Many of them have their email addresses listed. Compose a friendly, generic letter with your intentions and questions and send it to them individually.
(Doing it one at a time makes it more personal. Some will not respond if sent a large chain letter.)
Personally, I received about 30 responses and a wealth of information and insight. Good luck.
