关于IIT的套磁

我之前申请IIT的PHD直博，和IIT的一个老师套过磁，他说Thank you for the interest in joining my group. You need to first study for the M.S. degree before pursuing the doctoral degree. It is therefore recommended that you apply to our MSEE program. I will be glad to be your advsor。于是我改为申请他家的M.S.，现在我拿到他家的ad了，我告诉他说我拿到他家的ad了，他回复说Congratulations on your admission to the MSEE program. You are welcome to join my research group. Looking forward to your arrival in Chicago.他这段回复只字不提钱的问题，只说欢迎加入，是不是不存在从他那里拿钱的可能了？
