If he truly is interested in going to Stanford, I would continue to try and get him over the hump of these last few essays. For the intellectual vitality one, does he have a recent class paper he could adapt for the essay? For the roommate one, the tone should be much lighter so that might be a fun one to start on. For the what matters to you essay, what is his passion in life? Have him brainstorm on that one. My son took his time with finalizing these essays and I had to push him a bit to finish them up last week. Finally submitted them on 12/23. It is a long shot for him too, but he really loved the school when we visited last year.
