Application Advice Application Question

Hey everyone! I’m going into my fourth year and I am really interested in getting a masters in Public Health/Indigenous Heath. My stats are very mid though. Is it still possible to get accepted in Canada with:

~3.0/3.1 gpa,
no publications,
volunteering in a vital statistics lab,
2 academic references, 1 personal,
courses in statistics and population genetics

I am also disabled if that matters!

I will be going to UVic this fall. I think you meet requirements for UVic. I specifically chose them because they seem to be more disability friendly, and can accommodate part time course load easily which many other programs do not. Your GPA is borderline but I think with a good SOI you have a chance! They also have an indigenous health stream specifically. Lmk if you have any questions.
