Okay, I still don’t know what you mean by “stop.”

Students transfer all of the time after two years, or after one year. Performing better in college than you did in high school can enhance your chances. However, it’s not usually smart to be fixated on one “dream” college. Some are admitted as transfers when they were unsuccessful as freshman admits; many are not successful the second time either.

So, if you want to transfer or are at a jc/cc and will need to transfer, make sure you have several colleges to apply to… safe, match and reach.

If you have not read the Transfer Admissions 101 sticky thread on this forum, it might answer some of your questions.

And I am a little confused by the number of credits you are expecting after 2 full years. Different schools calculate credits differently - most commonly, at schools that use “credit hours” a student would have somewhere between 50-60 credit hours after two full years. Some schools use “units” (1 unit per course taken) and for them, something like 20 would be a fairly high number of units to have after two years.
