Consider switching to engineering, especially MechE or EE, or maybe industrial engineering if you can't handle calculus. To distinguish yourself in pure CS, you need to come up with something really smart. There are many, many subdomains in the engineering disciplines, and only a few of them have received much attention from ambitious computer programmers. You can distinguish youself in some of these areas just by showing up. Plus, it's seriously fun to write programs that engage with the real physical world.
