Prelim surgery

Hello guys I am USIMG trying to match surgery categorical for 2019 match. My scores are competitive. However, I understand me being an IMG already puts me at a disadvantage. I was wondering if anyone can share a similar experience than mine who went the preliminary route. I am specifically talking about someone who is a USIMG who in the match applied for prelim surgery positions then matched the following year into categorical surgery. I was wondering what the logistics and process was like.... Prelim surgery
