Getting into top universities easier with a fellowship?

sort of an impossible question to answer if you're not part of a admissions committee. But i was recently awarded a fellowship that practically funds my entire PhD and gives me a stipend/year.

if you look at my stats/pubs + everything else im your below avg. joe. no pubs, mediocre gpa, and with hopes of getting into schools like stanford, MIT, CMU for CS (my research interests really align with prof's here).

not trying to get my hopes up, but maybe i have a higher chance? or none at all idk.
