   Thanks everyone. It definitely takes about 3 weeks or so for it to be approved. Calling the DEA to check the status was a nightmare.

   New grad here. I was able to get a hold of a live person over the phone which took forever. Didn’t really get any information as to when I will get it other than pending approval. How long did it take for you to get your DEA number?
