There are a lot of "good" schools for grad CS.  What you may want is what
  other CS people consider to be "respected and great" schools.  Of course,
  each has its specialty.

My personal list would include:
	Carnegie-Mellon
	Cornell
	MIT
	Stanford
	University of California at Berkeley
	University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign

These are also very hard schools to get into.  Don't just look at "great"
  schools, look at schools that focus on what you're really interested in.
  For me, it was architectures, so I ended up going to UIUC.

But these are great for computer science.  If what you really want is to
  become a great engineer, then I would certainly include Renselear
  Polytechnic Institute (RPI).
