Started chess 2 weeks ago, 1500 and gaining Elo rapidly (50-100 a week). I feel like I have potential since I’m 15 and I think my growth and initial point were relatively good, though I am none the wiser. If I start to study theory (1-3 hours a day depending on school) can I hope to be 2000 by the end of the year? Furthermore, can I be titled (FM, CM, NM, etc) by the end of 2025? Really appreciate upfront answers from people who know their stuff. I’m looking for my chances relative to the normal titled player process to get there. Please ignore this profiles stats just go by what I said trust me. Thank you 🙏.

You’ll probably peak at 2150, then fall ~75 elo, and then just stay there
Opening theory is kind of useless, it’s better to focus on calculation

Of course, you can take my opinion with a grain of salt 🧂, I’m rated 850 daily
you will need to play in a lot of FIDE rated, over the board tourneys, and win most of those games.
That will get your rating higher, but you will also need to play against titled player, and do well, to eventually get a 'norm'- of which you will need 3.
Depending on where you live it can be months between rated tournaments.
So the end of 2025 seems very, very optimistic.
