陶瓷信回复！求解析啊~

又收到一个这样的包含“抄送”的回复……求问这到底是什么意思？要我跟那个associate dean联系么？
是不是就是模板回复没戏了？这个教授还要不要掏下去？

Thanks for your message and interest in my laboratory and XYZ University. I have copied our Associate Dean, ABC, who will be in touch with more information about the program. I certainly strongly encourage you to apply.
