That you still have chance. It will be reviewed again and compared to the new applicants. Your chances are still intact.

I have one "on hold" too.

But I really dont understand my real chance for that.

Anyone whose apllication was put on hold and later received invitaion in tha past please answer!!!

Galeno - the program writes you and tells you so.

at most places it means a polite rejection,but if your application is really on hold then the programme will usually write you a lengthly mail saying something like they will mail you if any people drop out and it will help if ur available for short notice etc etc....
