Programs with more holistic admissions?

Hi all!

Apologies if this post isn't actually relevant to this sub. I'm relatively new to reddit.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice for grad schools with more holistic admissions processes? I graduated in 2022 with a 2.81 GPA in Biology and Geography. I had a mental breakdown my sophomore year and what with covid, I didn't get back on track to recover my GPA. I'm applying for Fall of 2027 hoping for a Masters with thesis in biology or biotechnology. I've got plenty of good work experience and have been a tech at a really well known research hospital in my city for about a year now.

I'm a little anxious about my chances and know it'll be an uphill battle as my GPA is so low, but any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated as I'm feeling a bit out of my depth.
