Well, as I look at graduate programs’ web pages, I don’t see many publications for first-year PhD students. I’m sure it varies. And I also added “(maybe one)”, because there are many who do have a publication or two, but I think they’re exceptional, not typical.

My point was that a publication isn’t a strict prerequisite for admission to top programs.
