Grad school from shitty undergrad

No.13162983 ViewReplyOriginalReport
I wanna get into grad school for CS but my CV is shit.
> 2.8 GPA
> Entering 3rd year
> Subpar undergraduate research experience (nothing to show after 1.5 years)
> Subpar state university

There are positives.
> Very familiar with programming
> Math is easy to consume (assuming I sit down and do it)

Has anyone here been able to bounce back from a similar situation? I don't want to resign to a life of web dev when I know I'm capable of more. How do I focus my abilities for the best results?
