Thanks for the advice!

I am planning on pursuing a graduate degree in education (M.A. in Education, M.Ed., or M.P.P) related to education policy. As a current undergrad, I am looking to start right after I graduate. My question is what makes an applicant most competitive while applying to graduate ed. programs-- what are the admissions counselors looking for? Also, does anybody know the typical academic profiles of admitted students at the top programs and whether GRE/GPA is weighed more or less than your resume? I still have some time before I apply, so I am curious to know what I can do to make my application is the best it can be. Thanks in advance for any information and advice you have! Schools I am interested in include: Columbia- Teacher's College Vanderbilt- Peabody Harvard- GSE Boston College- Lynch NYU- Steinhardt UNC Chapel Hill UPenn UC Berkeley
