What are some MD/DO programs that are known to have relatively small class sizes?

I will be applying to MD/DO programs this coming cycle (May 2020) and I am trying to put together a list of schools I am interested in attending. I do not have the highest stats so the top competitive programs are not really an option. But a huge factor I am considering when choosing schools is the class size.

I went to a small school for my undergrad and loved the one-one learning style with the professors as a result of not having huge lectures full of students. I have been looking into the average graduating class sizes from various programs but I cannot find information about how many students are typically in each given lecture/class or if they just lump everyone together in lectures for the first two years of basic science courses.

If any one has any experience with what the average class or lecture looks like for their courses and what school they are at that would be appreciated!

Both Mayo Clinic schools are only 50 students, UChicago is only 90 students, Virginia Tech is like 40-60 students? Washington state university is only 80 students, Carole Illinois and Kaiser are like...30-50 students?

Smaller schools tend to be mission-based (Carle, UCR) or new (Kaiser).
 
We'll need some stats or something before we can give recommendations. I mean we could throw schools out like UChicago all day but if you aren't competitive for them then it isn't helpful for you to know that.
