Firstly, what's you financial situation? Are you paying for college, do you have a scholarship, etc.? I think anyone can make it without a degree given sufficient motivation. I'm doing a degree because I recognize I don't have the motivation to teach myself certain areas of "hard" math, statistics, and theoretical CS. Yet I recognize that these topics will be useful. All of these topics can be learned through MOOCs/MIT OCW today (given sufficient motivation). An alternative you could consider is to try transferring to a top CS school like MIT/Berkeley/CMU/Stanford/UIUC, or to another all-around top school. You may find that you'll be seriously challenged and stretched at those schools (or maybe not). This depends on your financial situation, though.
