Is there anyone here who can share their experience or story of having a foreign undergrad (no US mater's or phD) and completed DIY post bacc at CC and/or 4-year university eventually getting accepted to US med school?

I've read threads of foreign undergrads doing formal post bacc but I don't think I've encountered in depth discussion on foreign undergrads who completed med school requirements through CC or 4-year university all DIY. I am very interested in doing this so I can continue working while taking med school requirements.

Thanks for anyone sharing or leading me to the right discussion!
