You never know...say you get an interview in febuary and are waitlisted...you have the oppurtunity to give that one last plea by sending in say a 4.0 in some very important upper level bio electives in may..there is no academic update, its just you sending in a transcript...adcoms love seeing students continue their eduction in relevant classes that will help with dental school, so they also consider the classes you list when deciding to offer an interview.

They encourage you to finish your BS but if you already got all your requirements and they are not waiting on any scores, ANd you already got accepted you can skip taking classes on spring of year you getting accepted! I know some people got into ds without finishing BS

This typically isn't the case. You are accepted based on the assumption that you will finish you BS. If you get special permission to not finish it then yea great, but otherwise that's a big risk to just quit school one semester short.
