Default Is Geico going to hire me?

So i posted my resume and application for a Geico Service Representative position at 5:00 a.m. yesterda morning, lol. I know I was up very late.
Anyways I spent a good bit of time, and made sure I filled out everything properly and truthfully...
I got a call at 12:00 yesterday stating that they had read my application, and since I'm a college student they asked me about my college hours, and confirmed the times I'm in college that I put on my application. They stated a job they had available in Sales...and asked if I would be interested in hearing about it. I said sure because Sales or Customer Service was what I would want to do anyways.
They told me the job offered 13.00 an hour, that I would start off working 20 hours a week or more....and I would be working shifts such as 11:00p.m.-3:00 a.m. I stated that was fine, because my classes where in the middle of the day Mon-Thurs. and I stated on my application I would prefer an overnight position anyways. She told me they would follow up with me once her manager had reviewed my application, and even if they decided not to go with me she would call me to let me know.
I got a call 2 hours later, stating they were interested and their were 4 different levels I had to go through for the hiring process, and wanted me to come in at 3:45 that day, however I had class so I told her I would have to come at 8:15 tomorrow morning (this morning), and she said that was fine.

It all happened so fast, I'm in between excited and confused at the same time, does this sound prospective, or are they just filtering through applications. It sounds to me like I have a pretty good chance...

Advice appreciated..

You have an excellent chance for the the job! Are you outgoing? Do you have any trouble meeting people face-to-face?

Sales jobs are a little bit easier to come by, especially in a recession. Companies need all the help they can get to sell their product.

The problem with a sales job is that you have to sell. If you don't live up to your quota or expectations, you can be fired.

You might be good at sales and you will have a life-long career ahead of you.

Go for it and show that you are enthusiastic and friendly. They will hire you on the spot!
