Points FAQ
Q: How do I achieve active status?
A: We have a large variety of events for our members to attend! In order to achieve active status, members must obtain 20 points from the following categories: social (4), workshop (2), pre-health (3), volunteering (5), fundraising (3), and meetings (3).
Q: What if I have lab/work during the General Meetings?
A: We are all busy, hardworking students, and GMT understands that! We will offer “special meetings,” which are online, for members who have a valid conflict on Wednesdays. To attend these meetings, email gmtpresident@gmail.com with your conflict and request. Additionally, after each GM, the meeting slides will be posted below.
Q: I was selected to attend the Spring Break trip, but am worried that I will not achieve tripper status by the deadline. What can I do?
A: A maximum of 12 points will carry over from the Fall semester for those members attending the spring trip only. The remaining 22 points must be obtained from spring events (6 of which will be earned via the mandatory trip workshops).
Q: I do not think I can earn enough points in one or more categories? Can I still achieve active status?
A: We encourage our members to remain as active as possible, especially as our officers work hard to continue adding quality events throughout the year. Keep up to date on the event sheet for the latest event info. Members who have earned 20+ points and are concerned about reaching the point requirements in specific categories can reach out to gmtvicepresident@gmail.com on or after 11/22/2025.
