It is all up to the individual universities. I suspect that a 3-year Bachelor’s degree from Sweden will be acceptable to most U.S. graduate schools. It is well known that students have an extra year of secondary school in Europe and that once at university, they do not take the year of general education that is common in U.S. universities. The schools that say they do not accept 3 year degrees are likely referring to degrees from other than Europe.
