I’m not going to comment on the piece, other than to say you should only play a selection that showcases your talents rather than attempting something more challenging.

I’ve also posted numerous times about music supplements. A recent thread is here http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/610823-admissions-affected-music-maybe.html

A supplement is judged in comparison to the applicant pool. At many of the Ivys conservatory level ability (and above is the norm). You will be competeing against exceptional talent, ability and prior training.

Follow the links within my posts, and you’ll have a good overview of supplements in general and the Ivys in particular. From the description of your experience and level of training, you may wish to reconsider or seek a professional assessment before sending.

Good luck to you.
