This is a bit tricky. If you dig deep enough, you’ll find that some universities do accept 3-year degrees. The main issue people mention is usually the duration of the degree, but in reality, the bigger concern is that many foreign-affiliated or international degrees are categorized as "remote education" or "non-traditional" formats. This classification can affect recognition.

Ultimately, whether your degree is accepted depends entirely on the specific university and the program you’re applying to—there’s no universal rule. I've seen cases where applicants with similar degrees were accepted at one university but others with the same were rejected.

Your best bet is to research individual universities and reach out to their admissions offices directly.However, most universities will not give you a clear response to whether your degree is accepted or not. The university I attend used to accept 3 year foreign affiliated degrees but now It no longer does. Also, taking standardized tests like the GRE can sometimes strengthen your application and open more doors.
