Hello,
I have graduated from a Russian University. Studied foreign languages as a part of my 5-year program. All the science prerequisites were taken here and my combined science GPA is 3.83.
I think my officially evaluated GPA of Russian diploma is around 3.27.

I did some volunteering as well.

What do you think about my chances? What is the application procedure with the foreign diploma?
Thank you.

I believe you can get into some schools with prereqs done in the US, at least this is the minimal requirement for some of the schools. I personally did more than that to increase my chance, since some schools use the number of credits as their requirement or they require more than science courses.

A foreign degree is fine with courses done in the US, but the AMCAS will not verify foreign courses/GPA.
I also agree with the post above, other ECs and MCAT scores are needed to evaluate your chance.

I have taken Bio1/2, Inorganic/Organic chemistry 1/2, Physics 1/2, Calculus 1/2, English 2, Biochemistry +lab, Abnormal Psychology.
I did some volunteering in a hospital.
Right now I've signed up for Kaplan coarse for preparing for the MCAT.
After MCAT I'm planning to do more volunteering or shadowing.
Thank you
