I'm right in that position too. I actually just got an interview for Monday for a job I don't know if I'm qualified for. I've been learning over the last few days that this company pretty much only recruits from Ivy League schools and rarely looks at anyone else. Here I am from a lowly state school with only a little experience. And not only that, I actually never applied to this company. They just happen to find my resume online and called me to set something up. I guess what I've done has impressed them to some degree, and I'm guessing your resume did the same thing. Why else would they interview you or even offer you the job? They obviously see something in you that matches well with the responsibilities of the job.
I think we are both just underestimating ourselves because of our lack of real job experience. Even if you are responsible for some screw ups here and there, that's how you learn. At our levels, it is very understandable for mistakes to happen. Stressing about it will only cause you to make more careless mistakes. I'm learning that! In 10 years you'll look back on this job and think, "what was I so scared of?!" Just relax and enjoy the new responsibilities that come with this job. :-)
