Title explains it. I'll start:

Wayne State

I also believe UCLA does pre-interview holds on the portal without emailing you, but I only know this from someone else's application from 2 cycles ago.
 
Pritzker and Northwestern changed my status to complete without emailing.
Miami changed my status to review complete without emailing.

That's all I know so far.
 
You can catch some of VCUs portal updates before the email, but it seems like the email generally goes out within 24 hours of the change

I think quite a few schools (GW, Miami at least) will make non-decision status updates without an email (complete, hold for re-review, etc) but send emails for major decisions (II, reject)
