Completing pre-reqs is just as important as GPA. Focus on that for now.

You should try to retake the math placement exam and see if you can get out of at least one of those math classes. You need to follow step #2 on my suggestions. CS is impacted/competitive at a lot of schools including CSUs so you need to complete more pre-reqs. You’ve retaken ALL the courses you had a D or F in?

For example:

CSUF requires…
Calc 1
Calc 2
C++ 1
C++ 2
Data Structures
Java 1
Course eqivalent to CPSC 240
Discrete Math
Linear Algebra
Physical Science course (more specific list so make sure your IGETC one is listed here)
Biological Science course (same as above)
… this is not a complete list…

UCR requires…
C++1
C++2
Physics 1 (calc based)
Calc 1
Calc 2
&&&& AT LEAST 3 of the following &&&&
Physics 2
Physics 3
Calc 3
Discrete Math
Data Structures

Even by just looking at these two schools, you have a lot of courses you should still take. A lot of them require Calc 1.
