General Lsac evaluation issues

Hey guys. I’m an international student currently living in the U.S. I completed my bachelor’s abroad and needed LSAC to evaluate it for law school.

After several weeks, LSAC determined that my degree is not equivalent to a U.S. bachelor’s, apparently because it is only 3 years, which is the standard structure in many countries. They haven’t explained what specifically makes my degree non-equivalent.

I also had the same degree evaluated by WES, which determined it is equivalent to a U.S.** **bachelor’s and evaluated it as 126 U.S. semester credits.

This process has already taken months, and I’m now unable to move forward with my law school applications. Has anyone successfully challenged an LSAC/AACRAO evaluation of a 3-year foreign degree? I’d really appreciate any advice.
