Hi,

I'm an international med student and will visit a US institution for electives soon. As part of the post-acceptance requirements, I need to submit a 10-panel drug screening in the US. I was only able to book a flight on the Tuesday before the first elective, so will be doing the drug test 5 days before the start of the elective (on the Wednesday). How long does it take for labcorps/castlebranch to process the test? Is there usually a way to rush the order? I am afraid the results may not come back in time....

Thanks in advance for your help!
