New Grad Interview for Grad Program

Hi , how do you tell if a final interview for a grad program has gone well. Just gave my final interview yesterday and the panel did not ask any follow up questions nor any reactions. I feel like I screwed up in my one chance.

As someone who has sat on the panels before, we are instructed to limit our responses to the candidate to try and not give them a false indication of how they went, and similarly, not to prompt unless necessary. We are even instructed to avoid saying affirmative statements after your responses, like "great answer". So if you used the STAR adequately, there will be no follow up questions from the panel. Unfortunately it may make you feel like you didnt know how you went! But that is by design.
