(Your SUNY undergrad link is the same as your medical school link.)
The tuition indicated for Columbia is the maximum one could pay, which is significantly decreased by financial aid depending on need -- presumably much more so than at SUNY. Columbia's financial aid includes no loans and the average aid award is about $40k (of those with need, so presumably about $20k over all students).
In addition to Columbia being considered a much better school than SUNY, for many students it may actually be cheaper to go to Columbia ... if they can get in.
