Sorry to hear. The wait is indeed painful (been there). 

They will answer. They don't do silent rejections. It might just take a while because something came up (one of the interviewers is sick, HR was off, etc.)

The only thing you can do in the meatime is to focus on developing the other applications.

Hi there,

It’s totally normal for it to take a few weeks to hear back, especially around busy periods. I’d give it a little more time before following up again. If it's been over 2-3 weeks since your first follow-up, a polite check-in is fine.

Hi, 

I know easier said than done, but hang in there and be patient. You will hear from them! Until then, focus on other applications.

Best,

Lukas
