Vetted Candidate?

Hey guys,

Got a question. I applied online for a research position at a 2nd tier investment bank almost a month ago. I received a signed rejection letter today from the manager of US Research saying that they can not offer me a position at this time, but as a "vetted candidate" they may consider me for other opportunities as the needs arise.

Am I reading too much into this and it's just a typical standard reply they shoot out or do they truly see me as a potential candidate later down the line? And what exactly does "vetted candidate" mean in this situation?
