The only ACT Test date in October 2014 is October 25th. It usually takes about 3-4 weeks for an ACT w/ writing score to be reported, but it could take up to 8 weeks (Dec 29). From NU’s website: “test scores will be considered for early action candidates if received by December 1.”

If you really want to show them an improved ACT score, you should apply RD. There’s a good chance you won’t be able to report your ACT October test if you apply EA. It’s also important to realize that NU superscores the ACT, so if you send them every ACT test score you’ve taken, they’ll consider you based on the highest score from each section they’ve received.
