So, Ive been offered an unofficial position for a PhD at my first choice university by the admissions director. The official letter is supposed to come from the graduate school. Does anyone know what the odds of graduate school's approval for this?

The vast majority of the time this step is just a rubber stamp and you won't have any trouble. A small percentage of the time, if a student doesn't meet some school-wide GRE/GPA requirement, there's a snag, which the department is able to resolve with some effort. A diminishingly small percentage of those cases aren't resolved favorably. I remember one in 10 years on this site. You will probably worry until you see your official letter, but it's very unlikely that anything will go wrong at this point. Congrats!
