15-minutes phone interview with HR at GS (IB position)

I got scheduled for a 15 minute phone interview for a Associate IB position at GS and to be honest I'm not really confident on my background. I graduated from Rutgers with a 3.8 GPA and currently work as an associate at a credit rating agency (Big 3). Also, I am working on getting my CFA designation (waiting to take the third test). While i am fairly confident on my credit skills, it is a little daunting to be against top talent. Any tips on what I can expect on the interview and how to prepare for it?
