Important Qualities for applicant for Thesis Masters vs PhD?

[andrew1007]

All the posts I've read seem to be for PhD program applicants. I'm applying for thesis-oriented MS programs in ChemE. Do admissions have any emphasis changes when looking at masters applicants (GPA, LOR, research exp, SOP, etc.), or does all of the advice for PhD applicants apply to me in the EXACT same way as well?

Honestly, I think that most of the advice would hold. There is probably (a little) less emphasis on research for the MS.
