It’s literally two straightforward google searches. Search “university entrance GPA admissions USA” has a top result that shows that Ivy League admissions have weighted GPAs above 4.0. Searching “course offerings poor us high schools” shows some high schools only offer courses where 4.0 is the top GPA.
