Other schools have great programs, but for overall "prestige" in the US, I think that's it.

Vanderbilt, but not Yale?  Lol.  No

Yale hasn't been a meaningful university in 30 years. Vanderbilt and Rice have it going on these days. Times change[/quote]

Of that top group, Princeton and MIT are the ones that tend to be a bit overrated in my book (as in not worthy of the very top spot). Princeton is hardly in that Harvard and Yale discussion if not for USNWR (that HYP group that people keep trying to add letters to is written in that order for a reason), and MIT has fairly strong econ and social sciences programs but it just isn't as well rounded as an overall university. MIT has also benefitted from a few not-so-well-designed outcome based studies relating to college-wide salary info (rather than by major). Harvard and Stanford are 1 and 1a in my book when it comes to the total undergrad, grad school, and research package.
