Will this also be the first time admissions will receive a score from the new test? Perhaps that will provide more flexibility in evaluating what the score means and provide a back door for his admission.

You're right, it just might be one of the first new SAT scores they will receive, as today was the first time it has been given, and I doubt if too many other Stanford candidates took it (and reported it to Stanford). As far as if it will help his chances, we can only hope.
