today i received a mail from a dental school saying that my check was not received... even though i sent it around 2 weeks ago. i assume it got lost. What should i do now?
 
Well, I guess I'd just send them another check. It's not like anyone other than the school can cash the first one. I'd send them an e-mail and ask that they please shred the first check if they ever end up getting it.
 
1- send another check
2- try to figure out your check number (they are usually numbered, look at the first check in your booklet if you have one, the check you sent should be 1 number less)
3- if you find the number, call your bank, tell them the number and that the check was lost (I actually think anyone can cash it, not 100% sure though)
4- if you see that it has been cashed in by someone other than the school, call your bank immediately, they should refund you the money
