I think you will be above fine if your research interest fits well! And I also agree with @E-P cuz I saw many cases around me getting admissions without any publication. Don’t worry we never know!
I dont have fancy profile..I have one working paper(ready for submission), one conference paper, and I got above 80% on verbal and above 50% on quant... Also i do have master’s degree on communication (international). How about you?
Does anyone know if UC Davis usually send out interviews? I see no interview request from the past but there are two people who got interview request email for this year..
