I would not fret about the GRE scores. Based on your research experience and publications, you are very strong candidate for any of those schools listed. I myself had similar scores as you and was accepted to the following BioE/Biomedical programs last year: UCB-UCSF, JHU, Columbia, Stanford, UCLA, UCSD, and University of Michigan. All these schools were great and deciding in the end which one to attend was the most difficult decision I have ever made in my life. (Although it varies per person) In my opinion, this is what I believe graduate schools prioritize when accepting students (in descending order): Publications, research experience/LOR (tied and correlate), personal statement, GPA, GRE scores, etc.. Some schools, particularly Berkeley, favor candidates who can increasing diversity so I would try to emphasize some aspects of it in either one of your two essays for that program (last year they had us submit two essays; not sure if it is the same for this year). Also, all those schools I listed had interviewed candidates before accepting them (acceptance rate varies per school though most generally accept all the candidates they invite to interview except JHU and Stanford). I went through the same dilemma last year and was told not to worry about it. If you have any questions about the applications or a particular program, feel free to ask!
