Im male 18 years old and im 67.3 inches tall.i want to know is there a chance that i might still grow taller?

Yes: It is possible that you will continue to grow, although many men do reach their full adult height by age 18. A good 'estimate' of your final predicted adult height is the average of your dad's height in inches and your mom's height in inches + 5 inches. For example, if dad's height is 70 inches and mom's height is 65 inches, then 70 + (65+5)/2 is 70 inches.
