By the Editors · As reported by Newsweek, 28 July 2026

FoundMinneapolis, United States2026

Reunited — it went back to its owner or their family.

In a Minneapolis thrift-store book, a reader found a handwritten affirmation alongside a column of rising MCAT practice scores and a tally of medical-school acceptances and rejections.

This is our summary of a find reported in the press. For the full story, photographs and any updates, read the original report in Newsweek.
