I think the 34 on the ACT is great; much better than the current SAT score.
I would not send all the ACT scores because seeing that you took it 4 times diminishes the impressiveness of the 34. One of the great things about the ACT is that you can send only your best score, while once you send any SAT score, all of them go.
By the way, NU does not "superscore" the SAT (at least I don't think they have up until now), so it has been an exception to the general practice mentioned by your college counselor.
