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.
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.
Don't worry about it. NYU runs a much later timeline than other schools. Their April 1 date is a
, not a result date like at other schools. That means that you can be dinged, WL-ed without interview, or invited to interview at any time through April 1. If you get invited to interview close to April 1, you'll be able to interview during the month of April.
