It is the name of a University in Tennessee. Referring to someone as a “Vanderbilt” simply means that they went to that school.
It is a put-down in the movie because it is not a prestigious university like Harvard, Yale, or Virginia Tech.

It is a university in Nashville, TN. It was founded by the Vanderbilt family. The school mascot is a “Commodore” which was a nickname for the founder. While it is not one of the “Ivy League” schools — some of the oldest schools in the nation — it’s not a bad university to graduate from. It has some great graduate programs and a good medical school/hospital.
