what is the size of most of the pre-med classes/sections at JHU? For example:
Gen Chem 1&2
Physics 1&2
Biology 1&2
Organic Chem 1&2

I'm looking for schools that have no more than 40 people in pre-med classes extra attention from professors is really important to me.

It's going to be pretty hard to find pre-med lectures that are that small at any college. At Hopkins, I would guess that each of the classes has over a hundred people (I haven't taken them all, so just an estimate). Orgo I last year was really big (~500), but I think that it's been broken down into two classes for this year. Each of the big classes breaks down into sections where you can get individual attention from your TA (a grad student). The sections are fairly small - more on the lines of what you're looking for. And of course, most colleges require all professors to hold office hours where you can go to the prof with any questions.

Intro classes are typically between 200 and 500 students.

The info you have gotten so far is accurate so I don't have much to add. Classes can be large for intro courses for pre-med, but you will get individual attention from the TA when needed.

It is important to note that it will be quite difficult for you to find a top research school with an established and successful pre-med program where class size is 40 or less students.

Overall average class size at Hopkins is only 19 students, and outside of intro courses and the popular pre-med courses, you will find small classes where you are provided great connection with the faculty. Additionall, and I think most significantly, is how accessible the faculty are at Hopkins in terms of open office hours and research opportunities.
