Chance me CS Major at MIT, Princeton, GIT, Yale, Columbia, Carnegia Melon

My parents are moving to the east coast, and since I’m an only child they would like me to go to a college near them.

Do you know anything I can do to make my application better? I’ve mainly been pursuing topics and competitions that explore my passion (computer science), but I see posts where you need certain things to get into top tier schools. Is there anything I’m lacking in that sense?

Thanks for the response.
