It’s probably a good sign. Just be prepared to talk about your interest in his lab, and why you think you’ll be an asset.

Be ready to wash dishes and do very basic lab stuff for a while. Some people avoid it, but, at least in my lab, the freshman always gets the stuff we don’t want to do. It’s not fun, but someone has to wash dishes and make solutions. If you stick with it and continue to be enthusiastic about the lab, you’ll start getting more responsibility and real work.
