I got into my two top choices, Rice and GSAPP for 2022 (both M.Arch)... I need some help deciding and was wondering if there was anyone who had defining features to either of the schools. apologies about my english!

I am torn between those two too. The expense is quite different.

You too! I think now am leaning towards GSAPP. But I believe both schools are really good choices

Attending Rice for less cost and/or no debt will put you in a better position after graduation than Columbia. Some effort on your part to engage with people and work the Rice network will mitigate Rice's not-an-Ivy and not-in-NYC aspects.

This bear repeating. No architectural program is worth more than $30K total. The school you go to really doesn't matter. What matters are your portfolio and is your program accredited.
