4 years of high school Japanese is a great start, seriously. It begins easy (maybe a little difficult if it is your first introduction to Asian languages, but studying often should cure that) and progressively gets harder as you go along, especially when you come upon honorifics (be ready for that). I knew around 400~450 kanji at the pinnacle of my studies, but that'll depend on your classes. You'll have a decent vocabulary by then, and depending on how hard you worked on your speaking, you'll be able to hold your own in a conversation, and most importantly, be able to ask questions. That is key for any language. If you don't know, be sure to know how to ask XD If you study hard, I'm sure you'll be able to pass the JLPT level 1 exam.
Your plan is good by the way. Good luck, work hard! ;]
