Hey all,

Just joined the forum after a few weeks of just reading around. I'm a senior CSD undergrad, I've submitted all of my applications, and I'm waiting on the responses.

Now, my GPA is high (3.7 cum., 3.87 major), my GRE is fairly strong (1200), and I've had a good bit of experience as well as some volunteer work and good letters of rec. For the schools to which I applied, I'm comfortably confident about my chances of getting in...

...my main concern is this: my roommates and I occasionally take in certain substances (on the weekends, nearly never during the school week), the metabolites of which often show up on simple drug tests.

Now, it is simply a matter of having fun when all the work is done, and it obviously has never negatively affected my grades. My concern is whether any AuD grad programs, in your experiences, have ever randomly tested for any drug.

I don't intend on continuing such behavior once grad classes start, but I'm curious as to whether I have to worry about any surprises during this period between applications/acceptances and the beginning of the next school year.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
None of the programs I've visited have mentioned drug tests. YMMV
 
I had to do a drug screening at the start of the program. I think it was the protocol for the entire medical school. It hasn't happened at the start of each year though, just the first. Though, I believe the school reserves its rights to test at any time.
 
None of the schools i applied to mentioned it, and the school I'm attending does not require it.
 
not in my program either:luck:
 
Mine didn't request one either. But I know some of the rotation placements require one before being able to get authorization.

All in all though: Better safe than sorry. Right?
 
Im trying to find out if certain schools I am accepted to do, in particular UF. Does anyone know if they do? And if it's a hair or urine test?

It is highly doubtful that it would be a hair test. If anything it would be urine. It is so expensive to test through hair. If anything guys, stop for the time being and then if you wish... continue.
 
FYI- I heard ASU drug tests every year... So ya
