I have now contacted several grad schools about this.

I contacted: UCLA, UCSB, UCB, UCSD, GT, USC, Umich, UMD college park, Stanford, MIT, UIUC, UW, U of A, VT.

All the schools mentioned above but GT and UMD college park accepts 3 year European bachelors as long as you have completed 180 ECTS credits under the Bologna process (60 credits is one year).
When i contacted GT they had very outdated information and when i told them that they said “Ok, thanks”, and didnt ever bother looking up the new info. Im assuming UMD is working with the same outdated information.

It seems that most of the schools do accept 3 year European degree but there are some that have very outdated information and have no idea about the school system in each country.
