You may be right and possibly in some of the extreme orthodox sects of the religion today, conversion is not possible. However I do know that all Jewish faiths discourage conversion because of responsability that Jews have, and if someone decides to convert and can't keep all 613 mitzvohs Rabbis would rather an aspiring Jew didn't convert at all. But conversion is possible although it's a long process of study and circumsission. Many Rabbis turn away a person wanting to convert three times before accepting, this is to make sure that they really do want to convert.
