Would I be able to get into an Ivy School at this rate?

I go to an extremely competitive public school. Along with pushy Asian parents and highly intelligent and academically successful peers, I feel compelled to go to an Ivy school when I apply for college in high school. Right now I'm in 8th grade, and am starting to thinking about more activities I could start to do to improve my chances. From when grades were actually used (5th grade), I have gotten straight As, including this year. I am in the advanced math (I'm taking Geometry currently and in 9th grade I'll be taking Algebra II). This year, I was a member of Student Council and participated in Cross Country and Spring Track (sadly, I don't excel at running but it is an enjoyable activity for me and I plan to improve). Over the summer I will be volunteering at the library. Freshman year, I will be taking all honors classes and I skipped an art level. I want to do cross country, fencing, and track freshman year. I will also do Interact, Model UN, and Student Council as well. This year, I took the SATs and got an 1830. I got 590 in Critical Reading, 610 in Writing, and 630 in math. If I progress at this rate, do you think I will get accepted into an Ivy League university? Please don't say anything about me starting so early; it's my dream to get into an Ivy (preferably UPenn or Columbia) and I would appreciate any feedback.
