Ya'll I'm a high school senior

And my cumilative gpa is 1.8 I play football. My chances are really slim at getting into any college if I do really good this year and get good recommendation letters and write a good essay do I have a chance. Also do you think taking extra courses would help my gpa

Even with a good essay and good recommendation letters, you’ll have a slim chance of getting into anywhere except a community college.
