<p>Again, it depends a lot on major. I know one top econ faculty member, sort of, even though I’m not an ec major, but I don’t think there’s a ton of individual attention in economics in general. (He did a better job recognizing me after I drastically changed my hair over the summer than most of my friends did, which was nice but a little weird.) My impression is that economics is our worst department by that metric, but even there upper-level concentrators can get to know professors if they want. I think the economics professors make a bit less effort because their concentration does draw a lot of kids who are not all that excited to be there, but they’re pleased when students do. If you’re in a smaller field, you’ll probably get significant attention: the professors of three out of my four classes last year had the class for dinner at their house/the class prepared a meal of the culture we were studying in a dhall kitchen. The fourth class was a science distribution requirement. Personally, I’ve been very lucky to have found an unofficial faculty mentor already, who is a leader in his field (…which like 5 people study in the country, admittedly. Worldwide total is maybe 13.), so individual attention happens.</p>
