Hi,
I have a foreign degree and would prefer applying for a Masters program. However, I am not sure of my chances given that my degree is not from the US.
I am willing to follow a bachelors program to address this concern.
Currently considering to apply to both degrees simultaneously. Does anyone have any advice or insight if this would help/hurt my chances?
Apply for the masters programs. In almost all cases, a foreign undergraduate degree is considered to be equivalent to a US bachelor degree.
You will probably need to have your foreign degree formally evaluated. Pay close attention to what each graduate program asks you to do. Many accept evaluations performed by https://www.wes.org/ Some require that applicants to use a different service.
