I'm in a very similar situation to you - French & Japanese major in senior year of undergrad and considering grad programs in international development. I can't speak from experience, but I have a hunch that the university you got your undergrad degree from doesn't matter that much at all in masters admissions. I think it's as you said - your research experience in a position normally reserved for master's students, your coursework, and your expressed interest would count a lot more. I wouldn't worry too much about your university's reputation.
Are you applying for TAPiF? That can help a lot. If I remember correctly, there are even schools that give significant tuition discounts to participants of TAPiF (NYU I believe is one of them). Also, have you considered universities in France? It seems that Sciences Po, for example, has some great International Development master's programs.

I'm scheduled to complete my undergrad education from the US in May 2020 and have applied to M.Dev. My educational background isn't conventional for M.Dev so really crossing my fingers for this!
Are most of you applying straight out of undergrad or have you already worked a couple of years?

I applied for CLS Japanese. My application was rushed and definitely not as well thought out as I would've liked, but still hoping that somehow I can make it to the semi-finalist round.
