Stanford’s financial aid policy is that families making $100k will not have to pay tuition, only for housing, meals, books, and personal expenses. So you should plan on paying about $15k a year.

As far as prestige and academics (and probably financial aid as well), I would give the clear edge to Stanford over Columbia.
