College interview for shy and awkward math kid— truly optional?

These are all really helpful answers— thank you. I think my son would really benefit from some brainstorming and some low-stakes practice— and I love the post-it idea. I’m leaning toward having him opt in for the possible Princeton interview, and then we’ll see if he gets one or not. Interviewing is definitely an important life skill— if he can improve in that area, that’s a bonus.
