Physician here. Ditto rocky… Only spend the extra money if Columbia has a major/program far superior to the state school and the student is gung ho for that program. Not a likely scenario if the student is interested in medical school. Premed is an intention, any college will be fine. And many students change their minds once they discover college fields. Save your money for medical school. Do not try to play the game of attempting to pick a college to get into a medical school. Do well at the least expensive U and the MD from any medical school will lead to being a physician. You don’t need a prestigious undergrad college or medical school to be a successful physician. Be sure to enjoy the undergrad experience- take courses to enrich, you will be far too busy in medical school and beyond (or you will have wasted a lot of time and not follow that path).
