Offer / feedback a suitable word

Hi teachers,

If you applied for a program or course at a university, and you're required sit for a test and if you pass the test, you get to go on for an interview. And now you're waiting for to see if you're qualified for admission.

Are the following sentences suitable?

I'm waiting for their offer.
I'm waiting for their feedback.
I'm waiting for the result.
Have you heard from the school?
Did the school give you an offer yet?
Did you have an offer yet?

Thanks

Hi Mister Micawber,

I did have an interview but I was very nervous and did poorly so I don't think I will get in.

Does "offer" work here? Did you have an offer yet? (I mostly hear "job offers", but this one is not a job, but an admission to college)

Thanks

If the interview was contingent on passing the test, and you've had the interview, I'd suggest something like,
"I'm waiting to hear from the school regarding my interview."

Are you addressing this statement to the school, or to someone else?

This is like an admission test to the university. The

I find "offer" a bit unnatural in this context. It might be appropriate if you were applying for a scholarship, but in this case I should think either you're accepted or you're not.
