There is a chance: Most males attain their maximum height by the time they are 21 years age. So it is possible you may grow couple of inches but there is no guarantee that it will happen for sure.Just sit and weight.

Unlikely to happen: By 17-18 most males are at the end of their linear growth ; their growth centers are closing.An xray of the left wrist and hand can be arranged and will show if your growth centers stil l show more potential.If you entered puberty late and have a bone maturity more like a 15 yo you may get 2 inches.
