At this point in the year, if you're a senior, you just need to have applied to the schools you wanted. Don't be overly picky; apply to every school you like...but then again, don't go insane. Don't apply to 20 schools; that's just way too much application money wasted.
Narrow down the area of studies you want to do and pick the college that caters to that the best. Are you a science person or are you more liberal arts? It's okay to not know exactly what you want to do yet, you can decide that later.
Just to add to what Nicotine said, when picking a school, it's a good idea to think about what kind of location and setting you like. Do you want to move far away, or do you want to stay close to home? Do you think you'd thrive at a big university (over 20,000 students), or would you be more at home at a small school (under 5,000)?
When it comes to choosing a major, don't stress it. I started undergrad with a Chemistry major, changed to a Graphic Design major the next semester and ended up with a Studio major by the end of the first year. Usually, your first two years are designed to expose you to a lot of different courses so that you're not only conversant on many different subjects, but also so that it's easier for you to make a decision about what you want to focus on.
Most people I talk to say their job has nothing to do with what they majored in anyway... or they changed their major a billion times.
I know people already accepted into colleges, though, and I just started filling out my apps... >_>
Plus I need to practice for auditions. Music sucks! (jk)
