Is it 12 noon Eastern? For both program match day and candidate match day? Do they (SFM) send any e-mail at all?
What time on match day?

Usually it is really early, I heard at 7am my time. SFMatch has been known to send the info to the program the night before so every program gets it when they get in that morning. Guess it avoids the time chang issue. Due to that I have heard of folks hearing the night before.
On a side, this year for fellowship they posted where I matched online, so I found out that way. I don't know if this will happen for residency though, first year it happened for fellowship as far as I know.
I don't remember if I got any emails from them

I called in last week. They guy I spoke to said we should be able to log into our account on the 13th so see if we matched (posted under the match results tab) and then an email would be sent on 14th letting us know where (if your dean's office or the program hadn't already contacted you by that time).
Did they happen to say what time on the 13th it would be posted? Hope it's when the clock strikes midnight!

She must have been on the west coast to not check until that time. I checked at 6am eastern time and it was posted, so that would be like 2am west coast.
