先把教授的回信贴上:In response to your wish, I have checked the procedure for the application of 国費留学生, the scholarship supported by Japanese government. It has turned out that the deadline is in this weekend. If you wish to make the application, it is necessary for you to send us the necessary documents, including the formal list of credits, etc.Thus, as the first step, I am asking you whether you would like to try to make the application until the present deadline for the entrance to our graduate course from next Autumn. I am giving you additional important information. I have just moved to Doshisha Univ. from last Spring. This is simply because the age of retirement at KyotoUniv. is coming soon and I just found a new position to continue my full academic activity. Doshisha Univ. is located also in Kyoto Prefecture.Thus, by taking into account of this factor, please have a prompt reply to me whether you have the wish to apply the scholarship.Of course, we may continue the discussion with you in these days. However, prompt response from your side to me is essential because of the coming deadline. Please make sure that, after the application on the document base, I would like to make the full contact to evaluate your ability and potentiality, on the occasion you still have the wish to join our group.问题:1):教授提到他将要退休的用意; 2):我的大学成绩比较差(绩点2.8+),申请到奖学金的概率大吗?
