3-Year Undergraduate Course... Am I disadvantaged?

I got in contact with prepzone. I was told that I would be at a disadvantage when I apply to the top MBA programs in the US because I did a 3-year undergrad program (which I got a 1-year exemption due to my Diploma in Accountancy, which means I only attended uni for 2 years).

Is this necessarily true? I did part-time work in the AM industry while doing my bachelors, had some experience with a FinTech firm, and is currently an intern with a private bank's AM arm. Hope to get some feedback from the community. Thanks!
