[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the fact that Tufts (6K), WashU (7K) and Emory (8K) have smaller undergrad numbers. Not too small, not too large,  lends to more personal attention in general.

That's part of why the fact that the in-state public options for OP are so much more compelling. They are two highly ranked, fairly small public schools: College of William & Mary only has 6k undergrad (and only a handful of grad programs) and even UVA is quite small for a "flagship") with an undergrad population of just under 12K.  It's not like University of Wisconsin Madison with its 32K undergrads or University of Michigan with nearly 30k.[/quote]

NP: UVA is great, but “small” it is not. Come on.[/quote]

A 12k undergraduate student population makes UVA one of the smaller flagship state schools, especially among the higher ranked. I didn't say it was a small college, but quite small for a flagship. As I noted other high ranked public state flagship schools can have 30k+ undergrads:

Just randomly selecting a few,
U of Maryland --college park--30k
U of Michigan: 29k
U of Wisconsin Madison- 32k
U of Texas Austin 40k
U of Illinois--34k
U of Iowa --24k
UC-Berkeley -- 30k
UCLA 31k
U of Washington - 30k

at the Mid range: UNC chapel hill - 18k
U of Oregon--20k

University of Vermont's undergrad population is about the same as UVAs and is also considered a smaller flagship, though not quite as highly ranked.  I don't know of any other highly ranked public flagship that is as small as UVA.
