MS Biostatistics at UofT--how relevant is research experience

[_ioP__]

Hi 

I am a 3rd year life sciences major, and am hoping to apply to the UofT biostatistics program next year. My grades are decent (high 80 average), I have an okay background in math as I am also a math minor (I have completed all of the math course requirements for the MSC program), and I know python and some R. However, I do not have any relevant work or research  experience. With COVID the one internship I had lined up fell through and it has been really tough to find other ones. I was just wondering how relevant relevant work/research  experience is for admission for this particular program.
