I also have this problem, my first year stats mark is less than desirable, partially because I was under the impression that first year marks didn't count for anything. I've applied to University of Alberta, University of Saskatchewan, Simon Fraser, Queen's and Memorial so as far as I can remember these didn't have a specific grade stats requirement. I looked at the Lakehead program and decided not to apply because it's online and I haven't liked my undergrad courses online. I don't know which schools are more or less competitive (but if anyone does please share!).
