Yeah, chances aren't looking too good. You might be able to get to FM depending on how seriously you study, but GM isn't likely.

Don’t listen to this guy you can become a gm if you try hard enough.

Shabanov didn’t become a GM until he was 66 … the chances of anyone becoming a gm statistically are unlikely but that doesn’t mean undoable

of course not! you can do anything you set your mind to and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

This is probably OP's alt, I don't see a reason for him to lie about his rating

op started the account at 1600 and assuming he is actually 2100 somehow lost to a 1667 rated player

not to mention his bullet games

Yes, probably too late. Better go to university and keep chess as a hobby.
