Although I am an international student with the bare minimum GPA (3.0), I graduated from a U.S. university, have 3 strong recommendation letters from professors who have tons of publications, and I guess an alright SOP. I struggled during my first 2 years in college but somehow got myself together in my senior year. Scored all As in 3000/4000 level CS classes which are pretty tough. I do not have any internship, work, or research experience and I just graduated from college. Do you think these traits would help me in any way when I'm competing against higher GPA guys and people with more experience than me? I've currently applied to the best Canadian universities like UWaterloo, UBC (Okanagan), SFU, UOttawa. Gonna apply to some more very soon. This is for Spring 2022 btw.
Edit: Got a minor in Mathematics as well.
Also, NO GRE, and IELTS is not required for my case.
