<p>I’m pretty sure it is just due to the lack of selectivity at your school. The average UNCC applicant had a HSwGPA of 3.5 (To people outside NC: HSwGPAs in NC can get to ridiculously stratospheric heights, where weighted of 4.0s will not even put you in the top 20%) and a CR+M SAT of 1060, which is pretty much akin to the average high school. The more serious kids are likely at more selective institutions such as NCSU, UNC-CH, WFU, Davidson, and Duke.</p>
