GRE DOUBT--PLEASE HELP

I am about to give my GRE. I recently came to know that we have to select 4 universities(in order to submit our scores) on the day of the test...
I was unaware of this fact and now i am very confused. There's no time for me to do research on the various universities now. I had left that part for later time...

Now on the day of the exam since I have to select 4 Univs. i want to know from the other test takers what are their choises of Univs.
It would be very helpful for me if someone shares his/her thoughts..
I have 80% in my Btech, 80% in 10th, 84% in 12th , done 1 project outside regular academic structure with ibm, 1 paper published in national conference

Note: I am interested in Computer Science.
