+1. I've been on hold for re-review since 9/30 and today it says "decision made". I haven't received any emails though.
Guys, my portal showed “decision made” for me and a day later my acceptance letter arrived. 🙂

Not sure if it differs based on which stage of the app cycle you're in, but my "Hold" email said I can upload "one brief update"
Finally got the rejection after having the "Decision Made" status

Do you happen to know when your status changed? And were you ever on hold?
Yeah I think it changed from "hold for re-review after Dec 1st" to "Decision Made" like two days ago

+4 also went to my spam... weird, I even have a filter on my emails so that nothing will go to spam with the word 'decision"

Mine still says under review!
Is there any way we can review our secondary after it's submitted? I'm looking for it in the portal but can't find it.
For those who are interviewing or interviewed and attend the other events outside of the interview day like the diversity chat and the coffee chats, what did you wear? Should I put on my suit for these events over zoom too? Or was it more casual?
I attended both the meet & greet as well as the info session for the Rural Scholars program and both were pretty informal. From my understanding you weren't being actively evaluated so I don't think it really matters what you wear. I think as long as you don't look like a complete slob, to the point where someone would take note, that you'd be fine.
On a side note though, wearing a suit/business attire during the actual interview is definitely a good idea. On the rural scholars session there was an interviewer (albeit for the MD/MPH program) who had just finished interviewing one of the people on the call, and he said he got 'bonus points' for wearing a suit and tie.
For the non interview events what did other people wear? If I wore a suit would I stand out badly?

No not at all, if anything they might notice it as a positive. Most people just wore everyday clothes, at most a button down for guys and a blouse for girls.
Got the 'placed on hold' email yesterday—email says my app will be re-reviewed in February (though the application portal says "Hold: Re-review after Dec 1st" like many others who've posted above)
Based on past posts on this thread you have to wait a few days before they email you the decision.
Also, when were you complete?
Ah my bad, I'm not sure if that still holds for people who interviewed already. My guess is that it does, but I was talking about those who have decision made on their portal pre-II.
Best of luck!!
what does HPA mean?

How long do you usually have to wait after the portal says "decision made"? I mean for interviewed applicants. Do they send you an email or do you need to keep checking the portal?
Same 🙁
Acceptance letters are on the portal

HPA is their High Priority Alternate list. They also have a "Hold By Committee Alternate" list that rarely, if ever, moves. Theres some movement on the HPA list though. Both of these are post-interview. I've been on both now lol
