My chances of getting into Caltech?

Wanting to go to Caltech...?
I am a Gr.8 student. I am one of the top in my class. However, i feel i am not good enough for such colleges like the ivy league colleges or Cal-tech or MIT for I would like to be part of such remarkable universities so I can focus on Physics and Computer Science. I have been on the honor list for 12 semesters(6 years). Since the school announced that students could be exempted(Not do finals), i was exempted. In Grade 8, my avg: First semester: 87 , second: 90.7 , Third: 87.2, total : 88.1-88.5.

Extracurricular activities: MUN debate team (Model united nations): won diplomacy award, I am going to learn the Piano and the Violin. I am also going to go to do karate and many other activities. If this helps and i don't think it does: Youtuber with 530+ subscribers who is willing to increase.
I have a blog for Computer Training: The Computer and WebSite Making Guru
I am preparing a blog for my work in Physics and Mathematics: Karim's Blog Of Physics and Mathematics
.... I am also going to attend the school's drama club and all elective courses when i am eligible to participate in them.

And when i do the SAT, i am planning to retake it until i get an excellent grade.

So, what do you think... I know i am not that great.

What do you think i should do to get my grades higher and please give me a list of extracurricular activities i can do outside school because our doesn't school doesn't offer much.

Thank you for your time,
Karim
