I wrote a reply a couple of days ago, but my connection broke down and I lost it. So, a quick summary of what I wrote: whether you'll have enough time or not will depend on how many universities have a 15 Feb deadline and how many have a deadline before. For the four universities to which you can immediately send your scores, there will not be a problem. For the other scores, you need to take into account that it might take up to a month, sometimes a month and a half, after your test for your score report to arrive, and you are only able to request more scores to be sent once you have your score report. If you live in the US, the report will reach you on time, if not, you'll have to hope it arrives early enough. Otherwise, you always fill in your Q and V scores on your application forms, send them, and phone the university to give them an approximate date of the arrival of your official score report and ask them whether it's OK if it arrives after the official deadline. I have done this with one university with an early deadline, and they said it was OK. After all, they can already start evaluating your file if they have the V and Q scores, and just wait for confirmation by your official score report...
About the universities, I cannot tell you much, since I'm only applying to one that is on your list (UConn) and I'm not familiar with the programs of the other universities...
But maybe someone else here can give some information about your list...
