If you're applying for a Ph.D program straight out of your B.A. program, you can't necessarily find time to all the things that you suggest. My recommendations for those still in undergrad:
--Don't suck up your GREs--actually study, they're more than just souped-up SATs
--Be realistic about how far your GPA can get you
--Find an advisor in your department that will work with you on your statement. Don't write a statement full of cliches.
--Do try to complete significant research
--Contact potential advisors at the schools you're applying to. A lot of the process for the professors is finding people that will be compatible with their research program.
--NETWORK baby. Hope that your advisor has connections in important departments.
I have some reading recommendations too if anyone is actually interested in this.
