Get TM-13: "Applying to graduate schools (in computer science)" by
Don Libes from Rutgers University.  It has all the stuff you need to know
or pointers to it.  It explains what you have to do to apply and when
to do it by, how much it costs, where to get information, what to look
for in schools, what questions to ask.  It discusses courses,
projects, how to fill out the forms and take the GREs, including
what courses you should take before taking them and includes a sample
CS GRE exam (reprinted with permission)!

It lays it on the line about how to get into the really good schools
and what to do if you don't get in.

The above paper also recommends the following books:

ACM guide to grad schools - this is objective data only on things like
TA salaries, population, computer facilities.

Peterson's guide to colleges - this is less objective data than the
ACM guide but includes lists of projects and faculty.
