Generally, yes, that's how the nomenclature works. And if you want to dig down
deeper there are lots of other subclasses.
Yale is number 1. Period. No one else is treated similarly. Harvard and Stanford are pretty comparable; they go back and forth in the rankings and generally have similar placement success. Chicago, Columbia, and NYU make up the next grouping. Then the next 6 are pretty well grouped together, and Cornell and GT round out the top 14. That doesn't mean there are 5 tiers in the top 14. The opportunities provided by a Yale, Stanford, or Harvard degree are massively different than those offered by a GT degree (just like you noted that a GT desgree is very different from a BYU or Utah degree).
The 4 tiers are just how the language has developed, but obviously that doesn't mean the schools in a single tier are all the same.

BYU will always have undergrad smack because it is primarily an undergraduate institution. That's the mission.
