Columbia graduate program in applied math

[mathugr]

As a third year undegrad, I am doing some research on grad programs in applied math, and to the best of my knowledge, the so-called top notch programs in applied math are Princeton PACM, Brown DAM, and Stanford ICME.
What about Columbia's APAM? How strong is Columbia's program?

Is this list comprehensive? I'm surprised there are only 14 schools listed. Here are the NRC rankings for comparison:
