    I am not able to answer all of your questions, but some programs do require a second language and those ones typically have less applications, probably giving you a better chance for admissions. For example, the University of Utah offers a MS and a MA, the MA requires you to have a second language. I'm not sure of other schools that do the same, but I'm sure there are some. You should definitely talk about your unique experience in your personal statement!

    This is shocking to read, I really encourage all applicants to look at all program's completion rates and Praxis pass rate. I look at Samford's and the stats are pretty low. It's the first school I've seen without a 97-100% praxis pass rate and completion rate.

    The start of my SOP was about how I had anxiety speaking when I was younger and mumbled/slurred. I shared how this sparked my interest in speech pathology. My paper was not focused on my issues surrounding speech, but introduced a personal tie and connection that lead to academic pursuit, research in the field, etc. I think it was well received and I had many advisors read over it. So I would not say don't do it, but rather, don't make it the focal point or a qualification of yours. But if it is a current issue, I wouldn't really mention it because that might actually hurt your application.

    I'm liking choosing SJSU because I wasn't hoping to move out of state. It's one of the best programs in CA and infinitely less expensive than the other schools I have been admitted to so far. They have a multicultural focus which was very important to me and really good research fits.
