Suppose you have been accepted to your dream school, when exactly do you quit your job and start school? Do semesters usually start at the beginning of September? What about those schools that have leadership orientations during the summer? Do you have to quit your job to go to that? What about health insurance? When does the school start providing that?
Thank you in advance!

It really depends on the school....
Most start official classes at the end of August (HBS starts in Sept) and most have some sort of orientation in August (HBS has theirs in Sept). A lot of the schools have pre-orientation math or analytics bootcamps as well, usually sometime in August. Wharton, for example, is a little different, and has like a month-long required "pre-term" for all students, while Stern has a 2 month "summer start" program that starts in July, but isn't open to everyone, and Tuck has "math camp" which I think goes on in August for a week, but again, isn't open to everyone. But whether you're talking about pre-orientation bootcamps or orientation, for the most part, these are full-day, all-day affairs with social events in the evenings, so you can't also expect to go to work on those days.
So as you can see, it is very different across the board. I don't know about healthcare, though, that's a really good question.

The healthcare issue does get a little tricky if you plan to leave your job very early and take some time off. Generally, if you quit your job a month before the start of school you should be all set because, in the event that you need it, you can get COBRA for a decent price and only sign up after an incident if you need it. If more than a month, however, I believe COBRA either costs more or you can't simply sign up for it after an incident. I would imagine the school health plan would start as soon as you start classes.
