This depends on the Major you wish to pursue. For example if you are a Mechanical Engineer, It doesn't make sense to apply to a school which is situated in an area which has no big manufacturing firm. This would make finding a job difficult. After you have identified a few good locations, now its time to discover some good institutions in that area. This is easy.
Most places have a website.
Just go to any search engines type the name of the place and hit the search button. There you should see the list of the major schools in that area and their websites. Request for their application forms via the website. Try to find out the ranking of the school in your particular field of interest. Find out at least 7 schools which cater to your interest.
