Well, I wouldn’t call it an absolute guarantee, but he wouldn’t invite you for an interview if he didn’t have space in his lab/want an undergrad.

As far as what Emily said, your responsibilities will really depend on the professor. It is quite normal for the (freshman) undergrad to be stuck with those sorts of responsibilities. However, I know from personal experience that you can get lucky and end up with a great mentor who gets you involved in real research.

good luck.
