导师这样回复的目的是什么呢

Thanks for your expression of interest.  You seem to have a good background in rehabilitation robotics and strong academic performance in general.  I think you would probably do well in our graduate program.  If you choose to apply to our program, I would be interested in talking with you by Skype to get a deeper understanding of your background and interests, and I would give your application consideration among the other potential candidates for research assistant positions that may become available in my lab next year.

Let's plan to talk by Skype after you have completed your application to the graduate program.  This will give me a chance to look at your background more completely so that we can have a more productive discussion.

第一发套磁信发出去之后，导师回复第一栏，然后我很激动地回复问他什么时候有时间能面试，结果导师就回复第二栏，说让我先申请再面谈，请大家帮忙分析一下，导师这样做的目的是什么，我想他是不是在等看有没有更合适的学生，还是他想试探一下我是不是真的有诚意申请，难道他真的只是想从申请系统更多的了解我

老师的意思是：1. 先申请再和他SKYPE。2. 因为这样他可以通过申请材料更加全面地了解你的情况，skype会比较productive。3. 第一封邮件中“If you choose to apply to our program”应该也是这个意思。总结：如果聊了半天你却没申请的话教授的时间就浪费了，为了避免这种情况，他让你先提交申请。

嗯嗯，我当时可能的确没有理解清楚导师的意思
