I applied to a role that honestly scared me a little because it felt above my level and now I’ve made it to the next round. I’m excited, but I’m also super anxious about being exposed as unqualified. Anyone ever been in this position before? How did you handle it without spiraling?

Imposter syndrome is probably what you are experiencing. I think everyone has experienced it. Why do you think you are unqualified?

Many times, imposter syndrome is a distortion of reality and our bodies do this to prepare for what it thinks will be an anxious experience.

Clearly, they see merit in you as a candidate. Go in with confidence, and position yourself in the best light. You got this! :)
