For R2 internationals who did not receive an invite till now, should it be viewed as a lost cause?
Hard to tell you that, but I would say that chances are starting to decrease. I think they sent invites to several people (even internationals). I was not invited yet either.
I'm in NYC because of another interview. I had the chance to talk to some current students and they usually admit 4 people from my country. They've invited 4 people last round and admitted 2 of them. This round, they've already invited other 4 and have already interviewed (and admitted) one of them. I visited the campus today and there was a lot of internationals interviewing. Admissions do a good job trying to do a good mix of internationals, so I would speculate that they will admit 4 people from my country again.
I would advice you to do the same as me: try not to think much about that, knowing that the chances are low now.
This is just my speculation, but I'm trying to show you some facts and some conclusions I'm having based on such facts.
rainfall, we are in the same boat. Stern admits 6-8 people from my country each year, so sometimes it's like a lucky draw...Btw, a guy in my country received an invite to the hub. So I guess there is still hope. Let the waiting game continue.
