I am going to offer potential actionable steps, but you should only follow the advice given by the school regarding what you can and cannot submit. It would be helpful to know the rest of your profile. If ACT/SAT is weak, you could retake it. If recs are weak, you could try to get another. Have you visited NU’s campus or interviewed? Do they allow you to submit additional materials? I would imagine a visit, interview, and either a short letter or video with updates and explanation of why you’d be a good fit are what you can do at this point if these things are allowed and considered.
