I think the Email thing goes a bit differently: First you have to send them an email requesting a CSS Profile Fee Waiver. The email should include your parents’ financial condition, and why it would be difficult for you to pay for the CSS Profile. The FA office then decides whether you are eligible for a CSS Profile Fee Waiver, and gives a waiver code to you accordingly.

Either way, you have to submit the CSS Profile. I don’t think Columbia accepts any other financial aid app. I requested a fee waiver, but they decided I was ineligible for the waiver, even though my family’s financial condition is not that good. So, I guess even the waivers are competitive…

And I am an international applicant as well…
