Daily Paper
TODAY · NOV 15, 2025
NEJM · 2024 · INTERMEDIATE
GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes
Pooled analysis of 8 CVOTs (60,080 patients): GLP-1 RAs reduced MACE by 14%, all-cause mortality by 12%, and HF hospitalization by 11% vs placebo across high-risk T2D patients.
Biochemistry Physiology Pharmacology
Application Insight
GLP-1 RAs' cardiovascular protection beyond glycemic control is an ideal interview topic — demonstrates you read beyond coursework and understand translational medicine.
Streak
12 days
Key Takeaways · Today's Paper
GLP-1 RAs work via incretin axis — directly relevant to Biochemistry & Physiology MCAT sections.
MACE reduction = major adverse cardiovascular events. Know this abbreviation for interviews.
Semaglutide vs tirzepatide distinction — interviewers at endocrine-focused programs often probe this.

Built different

Built for how you
actually apply.

Every part of the MD/DO cycle connects. Galen keeps those connections visible.

Purpose-Built

Built for one goal.
Getting you in.

Every feature exists for a single reason — to help you build the strongest possible application. No filler, no generic productivity tools repurposed for pre-med.

01
One System

Everything connected,
nothing left behind.

Your GPA, MCAT, clinical hours, research, and activities all shape which schools are realistic. Galen treats them as one profile — so your school list actually reflects who you are.

02
Clear Guidance

Apply with conviction,
not hope.

Know exactly where you stand at every school before you hit submit. Fit scores show what's working for you and what isn't — so you spend your time and money on the right schools.

03

The intelligent
era is here.

Every pre-med knows the feeling — school stats open in one tab, a spreadsheet that's already three versions out of date in another, secondaries tracked in a notes app, and somewhere in the back of your mind, the quiet certainty that something important has slipped. Galen was built to replace all of it.

The old way
With Galen
01
Fragmentation
Six tabs open, nothing talking to each other — GPA in a spreadsheet, MCAT in notes, school list on a whiteboard.
Unified
One dashboard holds your GPA, MCAT, school list, and every application — live and connected.
02
Guesswork
Applying to schools based on forum posts and vibes, with no real sense of where you stand or what's realistic.
Clarity
Fit scores calculated from your actual numbers — so your school list is built on data, not hope.
03
Chaos
Deadlines buried in a notes app, secondaries tracked in a doc nobody updates, LOR requests remembered too late.
Structure
Your full cycle — deadlines, secondaries, letters, interviews — surfaced and prioritized automatically.

Fit scores aren't guesses. They're calculated from the profile inputs that matter most — academic performance, MCAT, and school-list strategy — so every recommendation is specific to you, not the average applicant.

What Galen Does

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Built for pre-med students who are serious about getting in.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know.

Both. Galen scores your fit across MD and DO programs — 180+ schools in total. Your profile is evaluated against each school's admissions data so you get a meaningful, specific score for every school on your list, not just a rough estimate.
Your data is never sold to third parties, advertisers, or schools. If you opt in, anonymous and aggregated usage data may be used to improve Galen's recommendations over time — but this is always opt-in, never automatic. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from your settings.
Fit scores are built from your actual profile — GPA, science GPA, MCAT score and section breakdown, state residency, and research and clinical activity. Each score reflects how your numbers compare to the typical admitted student at that school, using published admissions data. Nothing is hidden — you can see exactly what's driving each score.
Yes — no contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel from your account settings at any time and you keep access through the end of your billing period. If you downgrade to the free Explorer plan, your data stays intact.
Yes — and often more useful early than late. Knowing which schools are realistic while you still have time to strengthen your application is far more valuable than finding out after you've already submitted. Galen helps you track your GPA trend, spot experience gaps, and build a school list you can actually plan toward.
No. The Explorer plan is free with no credit card required. You can score your fit against up to 3 schools, track your GPA and MCAT, and log up to 5 activities — enough to get a real sense of where you stand. Upgrade to Core when you're ready to manage your full cycle.
