Congratulations. Yours is a nice problem to have.

There’s not much difference in 19 vs 25, or private vs public. My D is currently at one of the largest public PhD-granting schools, yet her circle is very small.

Identify your area(s) of interest, then identify potential advisors at each school. Read their papers, contact them, visit them, ask questions. Then you’ll be in a better position to make the decision. Note that PhD programs have to compete for good students too.
