As a CS professor, the main thing most incoming freshmen are lacking in is MATH skills. If the weed out courses of "can you think algorithmically" do not get them, the math department will. So many students too far behind in math. I would second a number of comments on here like "study another subject" (most CS courses require a minor outside of CS, other than MATH, which you should get a minor in just due to the numbers) I would also second the idea that CS in college is not coding, is not SW engineering, etc. It is learning fundamentals and how to prove your code is correct, mathematically and algorithmically.
