[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vandy is redhot and one of if not most popular school in the country.

However I really struggle to think of any top faculty at the school. Hypsm obviously, Chicago, Jhu, cal, duke, Penn, Michigan I can think of elite and big time faculty…

But who are vandy’s superstar faculty? [/quote]

Can you run through whom you deem elite faculty at the schools you mention (I attended two of them)?  And can you tell me whether and how often they teach undergrads?  Star faculty is often defined by characteristics that have absolutely nothing to do with pedagogical effectiveness.  Universities who hire them know what they are getting and they know precisely what parents they are trying to impress.  It looks like you are one of them.

Most parents and students don't have a clue about who is or will be excellent in a particular department.  But they can discern a lot from taking a look at what courses are actually offered each year and then take a look at the faculty bios to get a better sense.
