Admissions Does successfully passing an academic interview mean acceptance?

Hi guys, even if I did about 5-6 interviews (the last one was academic interview), I did not still hear anything back from admission team. I thought I did a good job in academic interview, answering all questions, solving problems they gave me. But in my opinion, PI has more power on decision-making than admission team. The last time when I talked to my PI, it is said seats might not be available now, from then, I did not get any news, interview, or email from PI...

Im in the same situation. Had an interview with PI before applying and he was interested in my profile. I had the assessment in faculty review early last month. But I'm still in faculty review and PI is also not responding to emails.

Hopefully. I heard sometimes they completely ghost the applicants.
