I would go for it, regardless of whether its late in the game or not. Worst case scenario, you gained an experience if you don't get accepted, and helps you re-apply for the coming cycle.
Your chances of getting an interview now are near zero and you need to prepare for the next cycle. Sorry to break the news to you but the other replies are giving you false hope
NYU is being picky this year, so this late in the game you will need decent stats...even for NYU standards
When did you apply?
If you applied before december, your numbers must need work and post grad will be your best option
If you applied january or later, your numbers may not be an issue...just your timing so get things in early this time
