No matter how fast you learn the kanji you still have the reviews. You can only rush things into short term memory, not long term memory.

Your choice though, I did a similar thing months ago and regretted it.

Have you read the thread about the guy who finished it in 15 days? There are exceptions to every rule but it's your task to find out if you're the exception or the rule.

I was on a pretty ridiculous pace a year ago and burned myself out unnecessarily to the point that I dropped RTK and I was past the 3/4 mark.

How quickly did you learn the first 200? That might give you a sense of your pace.

Time management in college is critical. Just learn to prioritize your time so you don't feel rushed to finish RTK.

The thing with adding new kanji is, reviews grow exponentially and generally stabilize around a number. Say, for 50 kanji a day and 100 during the weekend, you'll review ~300 per day, while for 100 kanji every day reviews will jump to 550+ (numbers are approximate but mostly accurate, I did it using this pace for the last 1200-1400 kanji). The more you've done before you get in the "sprint", the better you'll be at applying the method as well, so the review number will be lower.

You may feel it easy to take 80 a day with only 200 kanji behind you, reviewing maybe 100 of them a day, but when you do this for a week, your review count will plateau at a much higher number (say, 500), making it much harder. I'd recommend you to have a high base number you do every day (say 50), and then another higher number (say 100) you do every other day, when you feel you could handle increasing the amount you're reviewing per day.

In general, frustration increases a LOT when you up the number of new kanji per day, because instead of having 10% of cards be difficult, suddenly you dread every review. It's not just cards per day: instead of doing, say 200 per day, with 15% failed and thus repeated twice, and half of those repeated thrice, you easily end up in a situation with 600 per day, of which 60% you do at least twice, and most are done 3+ times until you get them correct. Reviews with so much frustration are not fun, and can easily burn you out if you're not ready. As EratiK said, consistency is far more important.

I want to finish before summer, hopefully this will include my reviews too, right now I'm doing 40 a day and that is a comfortable number. It was a bad idea for me, at the start to just do as many new kanji a day as I felt like. Having a number I have to reach adds more consistency and it's not too high so I can spare a lot of time for reviews.

I thought about the reviews climbing up on me and I think I can handle it. I think I will keep the pace of about 100 cards until I reach 500 and then spend some time adding 50 a day until I want to go faster again. That seems like the best way in my opinion to go through them. I am also writing down problem kanji to go back to and revise the story on, though luckily that is not too often.  I just feel that I want to get as many kanji in there before I get back home to my desktop computer with native material that was fun and exciting to look through and translate.
I still will aim for completing rtk this summer, but to do that i am going to have to make sure I learn them well. I have a good 4 hours or so a day now of free time now that my online summer classes are out, so I am currently spreading my study through the day. 30 kanji in the morning when I wake up, then breakfast and reviews and new cards, then 40 or so cards before lunch after a few hour break and. Yea just spread over an entire day so I don't get burned out. I think the reason I quit last time was not because I didn't have the time but more because I was going at such a slow pace I felt I was not progressing, despite doing 20 cards a day.  It just felt like I would never get done you know?

Anyway I'll be sure to avoid burnout, and even if I do hit burnout on pure kanji study I'll do reviews only while working through native material I have piled up.
