I got accepted to several d schools, but is there a possibility that school can change their decision from accepted to rejected or waitlisted??
I already sent deposit out to those schools but I'm just curious.

Yes, a dental school can revoke your acceptance at any time. Until you matriculate, you are only conditionally accepted. Some schools require a criminal background check, final semester transcripts, etc. before you can matriculate. If you have a clean criminal background and a good final semester (if you are still in school) you have absolutely nothing to worry about 😀👍.

I don't believe they will outright change from an acceptance to wait listed or denied. The schools don't just change their minds, I'd think. I wonder if it is even permisible by law (or ADEA?) to do so.

You can have you acceptance revoked however for a few reasons, such as not adhering to the conditions of the acceptance or by getting convicted. Also, if you get into some trouble with a school or they learn you hid or lied about something on your application, this will give them grounds to dismiss you. Keep in mind, this also applies after you have matriculated.

When would final transcripts be due? I finished up all my prereqs Dec 2010 and have sent the dental school all my transcripts, which end at Dec 2010. So, do I need to send all my transcripts again right before matriculation in August, even if I do not plan to take anymore classes before DS begins?

This information is probably located somewhere in your acceptance papers. Read them over carefully and make sure to follow all the schools policies and matriculation procedures. If your offer of admission is silent on the issue (I sincerely doubt it is), I would say you have nothing to worry about 🙂.
