Will no SAT score hurt me?

Seriously, I'm not going to take the school's word for it. My SAT score isn't that great, so would a 3.77/4.14 GPA along with good essays and extracurriculars be enough to get me in?

I'm the same way. I didn't send my scores but I have a strong GPA, ECs, and essays. I hope they truly mean that they don't look down on the students who don't send their scores.

I applied ED without submitting ACT or SAT scores and got accepted. I think as long as you have a strong supplement and transcript it doesn't matter. I had a follow-up email with the woman I interviewed with about submitting scores and she said: The middle 50% of our students scored between a 1280-1400 on the Math and Critical Reading sections of the SAT and between a* 28-32 on the ACT. *These ranges may help you to determine if your scores are competitive or not.* We use these scores as just one component in a very holist approach to the review process.* We always put more emphasis on how successful a student has been over the course of four years rather than in four hours on a Saturday morning.* In other words, the strength of your curriculum, your GPA and class rank are going to carry more weight than your test scores.*
