- Choose courses that will help you develop your critical thinking skills. (A logic course in the philosophy department would be one good choice among many.)
- Choose courses that will help you develop your writing skills. (These are not all to be found in English. Look to other departments as well.)
- Choose a major you love. You're more likely to do well in a field for which you have some passion.
- Get great grades.
- Get to know your professors. They'll be writing your recommendation letters.
- Prepare early and regularly for the LSAT, which you should take next year. Get a prep book. (Many of my students like the Barron's guide.)
Best wishes to you!

make sure that you get good grades and do well on the lsat. also make sure that you'll have at least 2 professors who will be willing to write a good letter of recommendation for you.
extracurriculars, while good if you like them, aren't particularly important unless they are specifically related to an area of the law you'd like to pursue or unless you held a position involving a lot of responsibility
