Also consider fit and the personality of each school. MIT is a technical school mainly focused on STEM which might attract more pure STEM students. Columbia student body will likely be more diversified in terms of majors and personality types.

I went to a similar (but lowered ranked) STEM university and have no real regrets but it not for everybody. For example, no foreign language or art or theater or English literature courses. Something to look at MIT to see if they can satisfy your non STEM interests.
