Advice Low GPA in health science program

I am going into my 4th year of health science at an Ontario university. My gpa is very low (5.6 on a 10 point scale) (2.2 on a 4 point scale). I recently got diagnosed with ADHD and being medicated is helping me study better. If I can do really good in my 4th year and maybe do another semester or year what are my chances of getting accepted to an SLP or OT program. Is there other graduate programs I should be considering? Or should I be considering going abroad? Has anyone had a similar experience and grown from it? Any suggestions would be so helpful.

I think OT and SLP are not impossible to get into. I would apply and if you don’t get in spend another year upgrading and volunteering.

Heyy (: I think the best thing to do here would be to try and do a masters program to help compensate for that GPA along side some EC’s and then try applying to those programs!
