Technical school

Does cominig from a technical school hurt your chances of going to an elite school, especially a school in the South Bronx. Last year’s valedictorian got into Hamilton with an 1100 and a 92 GPA hit trade was pre-engineering. I have a 1270 and a 94 but my trade is automotive studies, which I fear schools will look down upon. Are my corncerns baseless or do they merit warrant?
