adilujani reacted to compiler_guy in Which program should I choose?
A good place to start is the CS graduate school ranking:
http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-science-schools/computer-science-rankings
Other than that, I suggest you only go to a program which have classes and maybe research projects that fits your interests (Machine Learning, Systems, Computer Graphics and so on...)

Although I recommend the Manhattan flashcards. Personally I found them to be more challenging.
Manhattan Essential : http://www.amazon.com/500-Essential-Words-Vocabulary-Flash/dp/1935707892/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1379559563&sr=8-2&keywords=gre+flashcards

Synonyms are tricky, I'll agree there. Nevertheless, if there are 500 cards in a set, and hypothetically each card has one synonym then you learn 1,000 words and get more bang for your buck (its important to note some cards have 0, while others have 5). I've also noticed while taking practice tests, on some tests youll see those exact synonyms from the cards. Honestly I dont remember the exact definition for each synonym, but I recall which word theyre linked to.
One tactic to learning words quickly that I just developed is, highlighting or underlining the definition and synonyms. That way when youre studying and youre flipping cards over quickly, you can easily find what youre looking for, without having to scavenge. Also try to make the definition as short as possible. You can either underline the important part of the definition, or write your own on top. I would definitely recommend you read the entire card when you first pick it up. Sometimes the cards put synonyms and antonyms next to each other .. which can be troublesome -.-
