大家帮我看看这样回复dream school的教授是否合适？

背景：之前一直帮教授做项目，断断续续也大半年了。今天想到了就让教授帮我写封推荐信了，于是我先把自己的第一版的PS发给他，他觉得不太好，给了我一些建议。就这么一直修改到12月，我又把自己的一些背景信息发过去，他追问了我的学习成绩，想要给我一些further advice.然后就催生了这封邮件：

you have a good chance with your test scores. The rest is now pure luck.  I hope to see you in person and work on many projects together with you in the future.

Let me know what you want me to do.

我对最后一句话比较懊恼……

目前草拟的回复是：
Dear XX:

  Thanks for your encouragement! You are the one who inspire me to delve into the field of education. Your support and recognition mean a lot to me.
   The first time I arrived in XX, I knew it is my dream. My time in XX is overwhelmingly rewarding. If I have the chance to be enrolled into LDT and dug deeper in digital learning and related areas, I would be delighted. Of course, I am looking forward to working for you on SMILE and other projects in the future.
   Currently, I am applying 4 universities in USA including, XX,XX,XX,XX. I was wondering whether you could write me a strong recommendation.  I believe your recommendation will help me be outstanding among various applicants.

  Thanks in advance for your time and assistance. I will keep my finger crossed:)
Best,

Ellen

多么好啊~
为什么要懊恼呢？

看下面这篇吧……

就是心虚，我觉得其实我没有那么qualify啦，所以也不知道怎么提要求比较好。。

dug是过去式，应该是dig吧？If I have the chance to be enrolled into LDT and dug deeper in digital learning and related areas, I would be delighted...这个would不知道什么意思，你明显没有用虚拟语气，最好是will.applying 4 universities ...apply to? help me be outstanding 有些awkward，stand out 会不会更好？

谢谢楼上，已经修正！
