Do you think that the average gpa on predents.com and average gpas on dental school websites are the gpas as when acceptance letter was out (the gpa that they based the acceptance on) or the gpas as after the students completed all the coursework before coming to dental school (thus including spring semester right before dental school as well)?

Gpas and DAT scores reported by the schools are either for applicants or enrollees and most certainly will be based on the stats after all the pertinent data is received by the schools just prior to enrollment. Any similarity with the stats available on predents is purely coincidental. The info on predents is not based on a random sample of applicants or enrollees and as such is of limited utility when considering specific ds stats.
 
you may also consider people with multiple acceptances factor into the calculations on all of those schools, not just the one they attend.

Multiple acceptances will have an impact on the applicant stats. The enrollee stats are not impacted.
