Do you feel that a small class size is beneficial or vice versa? What affect does this have on your opportunity to specialize (is it more difficult to be in the top 10% if you only have between 45-55 students)?
 
It is much more difficult to be in the to 10% of a class of 55 if that class is U. of Washington.
 
I know that UW is a competitive school but I've also heard that UW has a high number of people specializing. Are you from the UW?

Its hard to be top 10% of any class at any school, regardless of class size. It doesnt matter if you go to NYU (250 kids) or UT-Houston (65 kids)...if you want to crack the top 10%, you're gonna be working your ass off.
