^^^ I’ll bet the US universities understand the differences between undergraduate education/opportunities here and those done abroad. Many of the expectations listed here are for U.S. educated undergraduates attending research universities. Even U.S. liberal arts college students get a slightly different look when it comes to admissions.

Don’t strike out schools because you don’t have publications and/or research. In your statement of purpose, make it clear what skills you have learned in your classes and how you excelled at certain projects. Show how you have exploited all the opportunities in your home country and why you want to challenge yourself in the US.
