Hey this is my first post. I was recently offered admission into a clinical psych psyd program (my first choice, super excited!)
I am a little nervous about the background checks that the school will do soon as well as the internship sites etc. I got a possession of marijuana citation when I was 18. It was decriminalized in my state at the time, do it was treated like a minor traffic violation. I saw a judge and was ordered to pay a fine.
Is there anyway that this could disqualify me from matriculating or matching in the future? What about licensure? I know there was similar posts in the past, but I couldn't find any that were drug related but not technically a crime.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
