What To Do After Your B-School Interview?

Is this ambiguity and stress after giving every interview normal? Does it only happen to me that I think I am not going to get selected for this one? My interview was so short; they definitely didn’t like me. My interview went for 15 minutes but they didn’t look convinced. I am definitely not going to get into the B-school.

You have your best call at IIM A or B or C or L and you just want one thing that I want to crack this one but the interview goes so uncertain that you are clueless about what exactly happened to me and now, it all depends upon the result.
