@OP I think you can become a Grandmaster some day, tho I think you started with chess a bit late... If you really want to become a Grandmaster you have to put all the time you have into chess. That also means, that you can't concentrate on most important things like school or college/university. If you want to live your dream and become a professional chess player you have two be aware, that you won't earn much money and also the possibility of becoming a GM is quite small. So if you fail, you won't have a good education, but if you accomplish it, you can do in life what you wanted to do. I think that's what you have to consider...

Why would you want to become GM?
This is a silly question. Of course you’d “want” to become gm. The question is whether or not you would want to put in the time and effort to achieve that title while also retaining a very high chance of failure.
GM seems like a waste of time. Spend years playing a board game to get two letters next to your name?
Your question is “why would you want to be gm?” Which does not take into consideration the effort you’d need to make the title, but only why you WANT the title. I want a billion dollars. I don’t think I need to explain why. I also really want a restroom. There isn’t one nearby.
But a GM title basically means nothing... No one who isn't a chess player will care if you are "GM" or not.
toxicity....

Just fill all your time with chess. If you go to school or work then apart from that just practice chess. Like in between every break do chess. I had days I did only 20min of playing chess in a day. I had days were I spent 10 hours. Just do as much as you can. Books should take most of your time under 1800 FIDE . Playing otb is best but online is fine. Any time control is ok, just think a lot. Focus on your weaknesses.
ratio I found effective:
5x books
3x playing
1x puzzles

I can't fill my time with chess, it is not possible. Plus i don't want to do that. I have a life and i don't want chess to takeover it.
According to your formula i have no chance to reach 1800+ then. Since i can't dedicate my life that much for chess. That's so sad, i had hopes and dreams... like developing my chess slowly but steadily over time.

It took my friend 1.5 years to get from 2000-2200.
If you play regularly, you can probably hit that goal pretty quickly.
All depends on how much you study and play.
It's possible if he's already at the threshold of Candidate Master at only 17; far different than just starting out at that age, as was discussed in another forum on this subject of grandmaster likelihood. The REAL question is, would he want to become a GM for the sake of recreation or to make a living at it? There's too much GM competition out there for anyone for it to be a lucrative living, I think...
If I could survive off of playing chess even if that meant I would be poor I would
