Would someone be able to give me some feedback on my chances?

Started university club, Club Executive for 2 clubs and a student's association
2 years of lab experience (1 year employed, 1 year at university - not able to submit for publication due to COVID19)
LOR: research prof, science prof, 2 dentists

oGPA: 3.2
sGPA: 3.1

Canadian DAT:

PAT - 23
RC - 24
BIO - 20
CHEM - 20
TS - 20

I am likely applying to 12 schools (the Canadian Friendly ones, private ones, etc.) since I know my chances are decreased due to my GPA. I am hopeful my shadow hours, extracurriculars, and DAT are enough to offset my GPA. Any advice or feedback is appreciated!
 
Your gpa is pretty low.. usually applicants with this gpa have an amazing dat (24aa) to balance it out
