Based on the most helpful WSO content, D.E. Shaw is known for being somewhat unpredictable with their communication timelines. A user previously mentioned that if you haven't heard back within 24-48 hours after an interview, it might not be a good sign, as they tend to ghost candidates before eventually rejecting them. However, another user shared that they received a superday invite two weeks after completing their case study, so there is still a chance for updates.

If they mentioned they would update you this week, it might be worth waiting a few more days. If no response comes through, consider following up politely to inquire about your application status.

nope, I am already assuming I am rejected. I was from a non target with 3 no-name brand internships but had ISEF semifinal only.
