<p>Columbia gave me X for the fall semester and Y for the spring semester. Is my total COA next year Columbia’s tuition minus X and Y? Probably a stupid question but just want confirmation. Thanks!</p>
<p>Well, your total COA is Columbia’s COA minus X and Y, not just Columbia’s tuition minus X and Y. But I’m curious, were X and Y very different? They really shouldn’t be.</p>
<p>No they weren’t, and your answer helped. Thank you!</p>
