I absolutely must get accepted into an ivy league school.

Then you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. They all have rejection rates close to 90%.

NO, don’t take calculus sophomore year if you’re taking algebra 1 the year before! Ask your guidance counselor about doubling up. If you can double up on alg 1 and geometry this year, then sophomore = alg 2, junior = precalc/trig, and senior = calc. Easy peasy and not doomed to failure like trying to rush through your math foundation would be.
