No status/only work permit for now

No status

Was anyone accepted to a university without being a U.S. citizen, green card holder, or having a visa? I don’t have any of those three, and I feel like I won’t be accepted until I get one. I didn’t receive any invites, and I also haven’t heard of anyone else being accepted yet. And pretty much the ones who have been invited seem to be people invited just to fill interview spots. That’s how it looks to me since no one has been officially accepted. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Is there any case that could give me some hope for the next cycle?
