I am not sure where you got that idea from in the Columbia website, but it is harder to get in as an international student as compared to a local student for both universities.

Not requiring FA definitely helps at both Stanford and Columbia since they are not need-blind for international students but it is still going to be generally more competitive than for US applicants.
