[HELP] Final round interview no response? bad sign?

Hey guys and gurus of WSO. I recently interviewed at a REIT for a Summer position and I really really like the firm. First round interview with three analysts and managers went well, I sent my thank you note after my interview and got almost instant replies from all three and very warm responses. I heard back from HR a week later for second round. Second and final round was done with two directors, I did not feel the vibe was as good as first round, not only did the interview end a bit early than expected (ended in 20 mins scheduled to be 30 mins) but I also got no email response after sending in my thank you note soon after the interview. I asked if they were anything else they would like to ask me but they said none and when asking when I will hear back, they said there are other candidates so next week. Are these bad signs? I know people working for REIT is probably not as busy as IB so I guess they should be able to find time to respond to email. What do you guys think? Anyone had similar experiences? Please share. Thanks in advance, any input would be greatly appreciated. I really really like the firm.
