Call with Recruiter?

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well and having a nice Thanksgiving. I recently applied to a summer internship with a hedge fund, and after completing the Wonderlic test, the recruiter/HR has scheduled a call with me. I am curious as to what the conversation might look like? How should I go about preparing for this phone call, or will it be more or less a friendly "get to know you" situation? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
