Still haven't heard back from Bain AC1 CHI

Got a first round for Bain 2 weeks ago, did alright on my first round. I made sure that all of the quantitative stuff was correct, and tried to frame it as much as I could without making it sound like I was reading off the case books. But I still haven't heard back even though I know people who've gotten offers and rejections. How cooked am I, and should I start looking at other places. FWIW I networked with an associate partner, and couple associates.

Bain is notorious for ghosting people. If you move on you usually get a call same day or next day from one of your interviewer

 

Did I do that bad where they don't even want to send me a rejection lol. A couple of my friends who also interviewed got rejections, so does the ghosting mean anything?
