If you stop hearing from them, and they aren't getting back to you, assuming you're of an age where they can respond, then you can safely assume they may not be interested. To be sure, just call them, many will give you a good idea of where you stand with them.

Yes, if its a school you were really set on. Be ready to read between the lines similar to a HS girlfriend breakup too.
But some schools back off because they perceive lack of interest on your part...thats why its good to close the loop.
I like the HS girlfriend analogy...because a lot of what coaches do is court the prettiest girl in the room.
In our own experience...
We had one relationship where we wouldn't get a call back for a couple of week, then a flurry of emails and a few calls about being their top priority. It was easy to see that the coach was trying to woo someone else. But a couple of times it looked as though the game was over with them, only to have them running back. They eventually made a very substantial scholarship offer.
In another relationship, it was compeletely one sided, a perennial powerhouse school...all junior, no interest from school. The night of the first day of the MLB draft, the school calls out of the blue with a scholarship offer...they never even shook hands with my son at any event or asked for transcripts or a visit.
So, it ain't over 'till the fat lady sings. But, I always had junior looking, not waiting.
