how should that affect (if at all) the kind of Common App and supplemental essays he writes?

Essays should be written about a subject that displays what type of a person he is, what he’s passionate about, and why he would be a valuable member of a university’s community.

I don’t think that trying to explain grade/test score variations in essays would be a valuable exercise.
