I would suggest that he focuses only on the writing and putting his best foot forward.

If he is accepted (good luck!) there will be plenty of opportunity to determine if he is “Stanford material”. (hint: he is!).

Regardless of college admissions, encouraging him to put in the effort after losing his momentum is a good thing to do. There will be other times he loses momentum and this would be good practice to pick it up again.
