Your chances are generally not going to be as good at top schools unless you have some really significant accomplishment that your peers don’t have. You have had less time to excel in some EC area than others. And at the very top schools, there are plenty of gifted/talented students applying (they tend to congregate in those applicant pools, in fact).
