Difficulty choosing school

[khan123350]

Hi Everyone,
I always wanted to be at a prestigious school like Stanford, Duke, and Harvard. I really love the Biomedical Ph.D. program of Stanford and Duke.
They rejected me and I asked for feedback, they told me I do not have research publications and advised me to publish in a reputable journal and reapply again.
My profile is: I am an international student
Bachelor CGPA 3.70
Master is in progress CGPA 3.82. 
I will have 1 research publication of my master thesis by March/April and can work in the lab to publish more.
What do you suggest? Should I apply again next year or I should go to any of the following schools this year?
1. Ichan school of medicine
2. University of Cincinnati
3. Ohio State University
4. Suny medical upstate university
5. Morehouse school of medicine
6. Tulane University
7. Max Planck Germany
