You can still get into grad school without publications; it’s just harder. You have to convince the person reading your application that you have the interest, experience and potential to do research.
How important are publications for grad school?
The short answer is no. Publications are not required to apply for a PhD. The longer answer is that the admissions committee wants to see that you have the potential to become an excellent researcher. While publications are one indication of this, they are not the only way to show that you have strong research skills.
