<p>your post raises a question for me – why does being at a school with more research going on and experienced professors matter? because having such professors in the classroom is supposed to matter or because it is important to get research experience as an undergrad?</p>
<p>if the latter (which is what i would assume, but do not know) what i think you need to look into (and i do not know the answer for brandeis) is what research opportunities are actually available for undergraduates. at large schools with large graduate programs, there may be a lot of research going on, but graduate students may get all/most of those opportunities. </p>
<p>to answer your question you may be best visiting schools you are considering and try to arrange (ahead of time) to meet with someone from the psych dept to see what research is going on, what undergrads can get involved in, and how many graduates of the program go onto phd programs. </p>
