Foreign coursework must be transferred to an american institution in order to be counted by AMCAS: https://www.aamc.org/students/download/182162/data/amcas_instruction_manual.pdf Unless you’re at one of the foreign institutions that is not considered “foreign” by AMCAS (list included in linked manual).

The MCAT isn’t really a knowledge based test. It’s a reasoning exam. Additionally US undergraduate coursework is not geared towards the MCAT. That’s why even Harvard students say their coursework doesn’t prepare them for the exam http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2013/5/16/mcat-test-prep-premed/
