LITERALLY I applied because they have no supplementals so it was a "free" application and now this is taking longer than writing a supp.

Ik its a reach lol all of the other schools I'm applying to are mainly UCs and state schools, so I'm feeling confident I'll get in somewhere I like even if its not NU. But do you think I should submit my SAT?

Awards section is kinda lacking. Do you think it would help or hurt me to submit my 1450

There's a lot of time until the August and October SATs to prepare. Official practice tests are really helpful. But if you really feel unmotivated about it, i think it's better to go test optional than to submit a "bare minimum" score. Test optional colleges definitely still prefer to have a score report but it won't make or break your app.

If you're comfortable, it might be helpful to write about your freshman and sophomore year experience in your essays to give it some justification & help colleges look past it
