By selecting gnome-shell at login from the drop down box pictured here: select gnome here

It should automatically be set to default for future logins until you select a different window manager.

If it doesn't automatically default the gnome-shell than you can edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and change

user-session=ubuntu

to

user-session=gnome

EDITED: to add how to change default manually.
