The “normal route” would be to work hard and get good grades your freshman year, and then transfer into CS. There are information sessions on how to do this starting at the beginning of the spring semester. Although all you need is a2.0 to qualify to try and transfer into College of Natural Sciences, the individual majors could be much more competitive than that. You should look at the freshman classes a CNS (and thus CS major) would take, and try to take as many of these as make sense (some are the same classes that all UT freshman take so you should be well covered). Also set up a backup major in case you don’t get accepted in CS. It could be another CNS major, like math, or a major from another college (Economics for example).
