What do you mean by average student? GPA? Test scores? EC’s?
Home state?

What grade are you in currently?
What level of Math have you reached? How are your grades in your Math classes? Do you like Math?
Have you taken any Physics courses? If so, how well did you do and understand the material?
Have you taken an basic programming or computer classes either at your HS or on-line? If so, did you enjoy these classes?

CS is highly competitive at many colleges along with very popular so you need to first make sure this major is what you want to pursue. Then you need to figure out what you have to offer in the terms of Stats and EC’s so you can target schools where you have a chance for an acceptance as a CS major.
