What are my chances into getting into medical school in USA as an international student?

[xoxo111]

Btw, I am finishing up my Bachelor's in USA and my gpa is 3.85. I've one semester of research but no published articles or anything. As with clinical hours, I've done volunteering at hospitals in my country, but none here however. So what are my chances into getting into medical school if I've a decent MCAT score? I'm kinda scared because I've been reading online how medical schools rarely admit international applicants, etc.

Yes, it is quite challenging.
Last year there were 106 non-US matriculants: https://www.aamc.org/download/321502/data/factstablea20.pdf

You'll need a lot more relevant experiences, some with a prolonged timeframe, before you're ready to apply. This article will help you get on track: https://students-residents.aamc.org...icle/how-medical-schools-review-applications/

Overall international students have a about 11%-12% acceptance rate.

With no clinical work here, that would likely lower your chances
