Essays: Both Macaulay and Common app pretty strong. Supplements are also pretty good.

I’m applying to CAS at NYU for Econ, SBU Econ, Finance at Binghamton and Finance at Macaulay/Baruch. Also would you recommend sending different ECs to Macaulay?

Your SAT is certainly better than your GPA, which is too low (below average/25% rank) for NYU. It may even be quite low for Binghamton. Undoubtedly, you have a stronger chance at Binghamton than NYU (your SAT is above average/75% rank, though your GPA might hurt you). Stony Brook would’ve been a probability (your SAT is above average/75% rank), but then again your GPA is much lower than its average of 3.76. In summation, Binghamton and Stony Brook are not safeties, if that’s what you thought they were to you. Your SAT is already good for them; however, the 3.57 will worsen your chances. I think you need some real safeties.
