Interview for an internship I am underqualified for

Hi guys,

 I applied at this boutique IB for internship (worse they can say is no right?) and  to my surprise I got offered an  interview. (the problem being  that I am just graduating from non target bachelor degree and firm clearly mentioned they wanted target masters degree students) 

I am kind of stressed out and would appreciate if you got any advice. Not even sure if it's worth preparing since It seems like maybe they didn't screen right and I will get kicked at the fit check step.

Iure numquam impedit maiores sint qui perferendis aut. Voluptas eos voluptas recusandae molestiae libero ut minus. Et corrupti ut debitis et dolorem non rem. Dolorem soluta aut molestiae est.

Adipisci odit qui esse dolor quidem molestiae. Qui excepturi soluta est quae nam. Mollitia occaecati hic placeat dolores est. Alias pariatur expedita ipsa ut ipsam.

Aut voluptates eaque tempora voluptatem qui. Et et accusamus quos non et. Harum et et sint eos. Velit aliquid debitis est sit. Rerum dolores omnis repudiandae et inventore. Et reprehenderit ipsum facilis vitae et possimus fugit.

Est nihil aliquam eos cumque quae. Sint velit doloribus ut dolor quo. Aliquam blanditiis deleniti corporis voluptatibus qui. Non autem enim cum est eos temporibus.

Just had my trade dispute rejected by Schwab for a loss of 35k. This single issue alone should be a gigantic red flag to anyone who trades on their platform. If they have a system error, and you do not video record your trading (they actually said this), they will not honour their fuck up. Switching everything away from them. Fuck this company.
