Just from reading all of your preferences, I’d say go with Brown or Stanford. I think Columbia is a great school, but it can be overwhelming as an undergrad. Because of the Core and your major requirement, you will likely be stressed out. However, I think Stanford has more of a sports and greek presences than Brown, so if that’s what you like go with Stanford. I think Stanford EA is more selective than Brown ED. Generally, Brown has a 20% acceptance rate for ED. I’m not sure about Stanford’s rates. Academically, they are both great schools.

Now, if I was you I would look more into the undergraduate experience at Brown and Stanford. Also, you should look at size. Brown has a smaller student body and campus compared to Stanford.
