How to Avoid Imposter Syndrome?

Hey guys, signed an offer for SA 2021 with a top group in a non-NYC location that takes 3-4 interns every year. The FT rate is usually 100%, but I am really worried that I will be the one guy not to get the full-time offer.

I really don't want to be that guy for various reasons but the main one being I am an international student and the chance of me getting an offer in FT recruiting is basically zero (even getting this one took a lot of effort). In addition, the fact that there is a possibility that COVID-19 is still around, I am worried that we might see a repeat of SA 2020 where we saw lower offer rates for banks that didn't give guaranteed FT offers.

How did you guys avoid this feeling? One way I usually avoid this in my life so far is to prepare as much as I can, so if you have any tips for that side, that would be greatly appreciated too.
