Imposter syndrome nearing summer internship

I landed a PE internship this summer as an undergrad. The backgrounds of the other employees are very impressive and most have worked in blue chip IB prior to their role at the firm I am going to. It seems like I am the only intern coming in from a non target and all of the analysts are from target schools as well. I have been confident in my abilities but recently am experiencing some imposter syndrome. I am working a lot on courses but am worried about my retention of the technical aspects going in. Any thoughts on a good mental position to take to best prepare myself for this and not feel overwhelmed?
