1) Find some research with a professor. Look at their websites, see what interests you and talk to the professor. Make sure you understand their papers and have intelligent questions for them. Make them feel that you'll be useful. 2) Look into some of the theory. Its probably quite different from what you've done in high school. There is some fascinating CS theory out there. Algorithms, turing machines, graph theory, etc... are beautiful fields. 3) Find a crazy minor. By crazy, I mean non-technical. Film, english, political science, etc... You'll branch out, be more useful to any employer, be challenged and have fun. 4) Talk to your dean (someone else said this, but I think its a great idea). Let them know your background and tell them what you want to do. Good luck.
