Ignore all the people who are comparing it to tippy top T10, that is not what you asked. 
Among the T11-25, Vanderbilt is not as prestigious as the lower ivies (Dartmouth/Cornell are typically below T10, Columbia ha been recently and Brown was always below until they snuck in this year), and not as prestigious as UChicago(which should be T10). Vanderbilt is generally viewed as similar prestige level to Rice, Washu, Notre Dame, a bit above Georgetown/Emory, and absolutely above UVA, Michigan and  UNC no question. In other words, it is solidly a T20, borderline T15 and in academic circles is thought of as right below Ivy and Ivy-plus(which has been defined in many studies as the quartet of MIT/Stanford/Duke/UChic). Some consider it on par with JHU and Northwestern which are solid T10: most consider it just below those.

TLDR Vanderbilt is definitely prestigious, no question, just not quite ivytype level.[/quote]
