1500 in a year and then at least 100 points a year

OK I think it`s a reasonable system to fish out chess prodigies ))
But I don`t think that it is the only way to become chess GrandMaster.

So you chose the right path
But you are probably not quite sure whether you could make a rapid
progress
in chess several years later ?

When I quit serious chess I was a Class A with 1 Candidate norm - which
is circa 2075-2125. So I already was beyond the "hopeless" level of
stuck at 1800.

I began playing steadily again after graduation and military service -
at age of 25. But the base was there, moreover, the reason I got blocked
at 13 was not the one I am talking about in the thread. So I am slowly
advancing towards Master, and have some 90 points to go. Maybe I can
make an IM norm one day. But I never got stuck in 1600-1800 for several
years in the first place.

IM ! That`s an ambitious plan but in your case quite realistic.
I wish you good luck in your quest ! ))
