From what I have been told by PHDs is to have a great advisor. That’s more relevant for grad school, but having great professors that other professors from the school you are applying for know is almost essential. You will have a better chance of getting into the program if you get a letter of recommendation from a professor that the committee knows and likes.

It might be for Computer Science, but it is relevant.
