what should i do to prepare for a possible studying opportunity in US?

as a junior student majoring in management science in one of top univerisities in China, i’m planning to go for a master degree in US after graduation. But besides GRE and TOEFL, many of my friends think i should prepare more, such as doing some research with professors and have paper published. some even suggest contacting directily with professors in the American colleges. I’m a little confused now and i don’t want to put my effort in the wrong direction because i’m so busy. can any buddy give me some advices on what i should do to gain more advantages for my possible future studying chance? what do American professors pay attention to when they select overseas students?
Will an out of state college accept me?

I live in Florida, but I really would like to go out of state for college. I was thinking UCLA or USF (University of San Francisco). I am not sure which major I want to pursue, but I am thinking of Theater and Environmental Science. I currently have a 3.2 GPA, I haven’t gotten back my SAT scores yet, I am in all honors or AP classes, I am involved in every show my school theater does, and I am in the Best Buddies club (secretary). Is this enough?
