It is way too early to think about specific colleges (especially the hyper-competitive ones such as the Ivy schools). You don’t any HS GPA and you have zero standardized testing. You have just started rowing and nobody can project if/how you will progress in the sport.

It is good to take school seriously and know that college will be on your horizon, but it is WAY too early to start planning for any specific colleges or group of colleges. I would highly recommend that you get off of CC until your junior year.

As you begin HS you should focus on:
–Working hard, learning, and doing as well as you can in the most challenging curriculum you can manage.
–When the time comes study for standardized tests.
–Continue your involvement in activities you care about and work towards making meaningful contributions to those activities.
–Enjoying spending time with your family and friends.
