potential interest...

Hello,

what does it mean when an academic replies to you that they would be 'potentially interested in supervising your topic'?
What does 'potentially' mean? Hesitation?

Thanks.

It probably means they want to know more about it before committing themselves. Have they asked any questions about it or asked for more details?

I'd say it's a good sign - you haven't been turned down flat at least!
