<p>Considering your one of the top students in a school that sends atleast 5% to ivies each year, which may even be higher with an intelligent class, along with you continued and demonstated interest and success in both rowing and chemistry, you have a fine chance of gaining admittance to an IVY caliber school in the fall. If I were you, I would go with either Stanford EA or become one of the first rounds of Harvard EA (just installed this upcoming fall 2011) to gain admittance to such a prestigious university. Hence, you will be able to focus more on crew and less on schoolwork after your early admittance, if you wish.</p>
