Thank you for your responses!! They were definitely helpful and it's given me a few things to keep in mind

Hi everyone, do you think it is necessary for an aspiring SLP to speak at least 2 languages? For instance, is this something that admissions committees or employers look at when selecting their students, or hiring in the field? I was born and raised in Canada, so I have spoken English my entire life. My parents are immigrants, but they did not teach me their native language while I was growing up. I am definitely interested in learning their native language on my own (via classes, books, etc), but I was curious to see how knowing only 1 language would affect my prospects in applying and working in the SLP field.

Hi guys, congrats to everyone who was accepted!! I'm new to this board (although i've been lurking this thread for a while now!) and I've been thinking about applying to the SLP programs after I graduate. I'm going into my fourth year and I still have to take linguistics, phonetics, and anatomy as prerequisites. I was planning on taking intro to linguistics in the summer. Do you think the admissions committee would care if I took this in the summer as opposed to during the school year? I'm asking because I know some professional masters programs don't take summer courses into account. Thanks!
