On the decision forum, I have seen that some applicants have been accepted or declined to the schools and programs that I have applied to but I have not had any replies yet. Is this is good sign or a bad sign?

Undergrad Institution: UC Santa Cruz- solid biology standingMajor(s): MCD BiologyMinor(s): N/AGPA in Major: 3.4Overall GPA: 3.1Type of Student: Domestic, Female, LatinxGRE Scores (revised/old version):Q:151V:157W:4.0 (most of the schools I'm applying aren't asking for it) Research Experience: Summer internship at a big Pharma company in immunology for 3 months One year of undergraduate research in a bioengineering lab with lots of experience in microbiology and a poster but no publication 1+ year as a research associate at a prestigious research institute in CA researching breast cancer with a publication (like 5th author out of 10) Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Just student-athlete awardsAny Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Graduated from undergrad in 3 years and, as stated above, was a student athlete throughout college, and I have several poster presentations and have attended many symposiums and conferencesSpecial Bonus Points: Female and minority. Three solid letter of Rec from a top professor and PI at UCSC, current and well-known PI from current job and PI from pharmaceutical company, all know me really well.Applying to Where: U of Colorado, Boulder- Molecular BiologyUC San Diego - Biomedical Sciences - AgingNortheastern - Biology - AgingU of Washington - Pathology-Aging U of Southern California- Biology of Aging UC Davis- MCD Biology Scripps Research Institute- Biology PS: I'm nervous because of my low GPA and GRE scores(even though I'm not submitting those to most schools). Should I just not apply to any schools that require GRE scores. I also feel that I don't want to attend a school that judges me based off of my testing scores because I work must harder than they reflect. I feel really good about my work and research experience (even though I know someone will always have more experience and from more reputable places because of this competitive field). I want to go into studying aging and I do have some background in that field so that's not entirely new. My top schools are UCSD and UW, but I think my chances are slim....
