Follow these 10 steps and eventually you may be in good position to apply to Google.
Stick to one programming language, make sure you can code with absolute ease in this language. I am sure Google don't have affinity to one specific language. Code them on Linux or Mac preferably. They are Unix variants.
Get yourself a good book on Algorithms and data structures. Complete the book so that you get the hang of all basic algorithms and data structures. (Book, Data Structures using C)
Learn other computer basics like OS concepts, bit programming, networking and about data bases (preferably the world's most popular open source database (MySQL) should be enough). Understand that you have just completed the course and you are still not expert in Algorithms. Now you need to sharpen your coding and algo skills, which should be taken in parallel.
Fork some small and famous Build software better, together (Git) projects and try understanding the code and if possible try contributing to it. This will ensure that you code the right way!
Participate in topcoder or codechef or codesprint. These sites have practice problems which will sharpen your algorithms skill.
I find programming interviews has some awesome explanations to very nice problems from a IITian if you can follow Indian English accent.
Kindly, glance back whatever you learn in these days and make sure you don't forget what you learn.
All the best.
