Congrats! Two great options.

I recommend that you make a spread sheet of the actual courses that you would be required to take at each school. Columbia has a lot of requirements (not sure about Penn). See if that makes a difference to you.

Other than that, I would say that Penn has more of a"preprofessional" vibe than Columbia. And Penn also has a wealthier vibe. Maybe because they are heavy on legacies and many of them are children of Wharton grads? IDK. It seems to be a fav of the upper-middle class and NYC suburbs. Columbia is very diverse.
