No one can tell. But if you put in the time it's probably possible for most people to get a 1800 rating. But it won't be handed out to you, you will have to put in the hours for it. If you spend that much time on chess and spend it good(!) I wouldn't be suprised if you would get to expert level. But again, it's not just the hours, it's how you spend the hours.
Think of a musical instrument, if you are 'practicing' hours without a metronome, you probably aren't practicing at all and won't see as much improvement as the guy who plays 10 minutes a day. With a metronome and full focus.
