Yes all students can apply through Early Decision at Columbia Uni regardless of their origin but they shouldn't expect special benefits, as their application will be treated equally and students applying for financial aid who fall out of "need-blind category" can also be deferred to Regular Decision.

You would need to do well in your academics to get into either. At Columbia however, you have better chances of admission. Columbia accepts applications at a rate of 4.3%. Harvard, on the other hand, does so at a rate of 3.6%.

Columbia accepts around 4 applications for every 100 it receives. Its acceptance rate was 4.29% for the Class of 2029. NYU accepts twice the number of applications, at an 8% acceptance rate. You would have to work hard to get into either. However, at NYU you have a better chance.
