求指导，还没收到学校的正式offer，怎么回复教授的邮件？

今早查邮件发现某一所学校系里的associate professor（master申请，也没发套磁信）的邮件，这算不算offer呢？查了下申请状态还是department review，也还没收到Admission Office的offer。求指导该怎么回复这封邮件？

邮件内容：It is my pleasure to read your application package. It is outstanding. Look forward to seeing you in XXX and collaborating with you.

这个不算offer，但是可以当做争取RA/TA的机会。这么回：Thank you for your kind words, Dr. xxx. I am impressed with the graduate program at the XXX department, and look forward for an opportunity of joining as a Master student. I am intrigued about the research you and your lab are conducting, I have worked on xxxx in my undergrad. I wonder if there is any RA/TA opening in your group that I can apply for, and if not, do you know about such openings with other professors in the department? Thank you so much for your information.

有的时候就是老师打算招学生，看到你的简历，觉得比较相符，问你有没有兴趣，如果和你的方向契合的话，他可以帮你进入学校，也可以提前开始课题
