As I said, I am working on my PH. D. So I don't know how much of this information will be helpful in applying for other programs.
A good statement of purpose is essential. Start working on that now and having two or three readers (including one who is up on grammar) who will give you valuable critiques does not hurt.
Cultivate relationships with several professors so that when it comes time for those letters of recommendation, you will have several people to turn to who know of you and your activities. The more your professors know about you, the better the letter will be.
Apply to one or two safe schools. These school might not be your first choice, but they are the ones that you will certainly get into. Therefore, if things don't pan out with your top choices, you will still have the option of continuing with your education.
That's all I can think of right now.
