Excellent advice, but in most cases not doable. You'll audition, possibly have a lesson, and that's it. Not much to go on, considering you'll be working with that teacher for the next few years. So, the reputations _do_ count. But ...

Talk to their current students to get an idea. There are some schools where the underclassmen are not taught by the faculty, at least not on a regular basis, but by grad students. This may or may not be what you expect. There are others where you rotate through different teachers on a semester or yearly basis. The students will give you the "straight skinny".
