There are, however, some general tips...
1.Study, study, study for the GRE. If your program is competitive to get into, pay for a study course.
2.Try to secure your recommendations at least 3 months in advance, to get a leg up on the other people who ask for recs 2 weeks before they're due, which ends up being close to finals.
3. Postpone visits until after you get in, unless your program pays for your visit. It really sucks to visit a school, get your heart set on it, and then not get in.
4. Apply to the best schools in your field, and aim to get in the best one. Alternatively, if there's a region you want to be in, aim for the top school in that region. People like to say that school names don't matter, but they really do.
