No word from 3 out of 4 applications (Biology PhD)

Is this a bad sign? Should I expect to hear that I have been rejected from these 3 colleges?

The applications were for a PhD in Biology from University of South Dakota, Clemson University, and Northern Arizona.

Maybe I'm being a Debby Downer because I am impatient, but I feel that since I am waiting til the last moment I will get rejection letters from them all.

Thank you for this. It makes me feel a bit better about waiting. I assume they will abide by the April 15th deadline that most graduate schools uphold. If this is true, I hope to start hearing from them soon (good or bad).
