Match Experience
Get your application in as early as possible. I was locked out of at least 1 place because I submitted my app. too late. Put EVERYTHING on your application that you have done, but don't lie! Be able to talk intelligently about everything on your application. Most importantly, just act like a normal human being during interviews and you will be fine.
