I wish you well in locating an alternate position but I was impressed by your background and was hopeful that you would be awarded a Fellowship and would join my group. 这个alternate position是什么意思,是祝我申请别的学校顺利吗?
之前告诉教授说自己没钱,教授说, As far as tuition and financial aid, if you are offered a fellowship from the university, all your tuition and fees will be coveted. 不知道有没有RA。TA的话托福S才17,估计拿不到。
