Higher Education Administration and Student Affairs: Where do I stand?

[Imbasel]

Hello all, I am just turned a senior in college and I am intending to pursue a masters in Higher Education preferably one with a focus on Student Affairs. However, I am unsure how I stand. I have been (in my mind) very active and done a lot. However, when looking to apply this fall to places like UCONN and UVM I have no idea where I stand in terms of a potential graduate student. Would anybody currently in the field or who went through the process for graduate school be able to give me their perspective. I can PM you with more detail if that would be possible?

I participated in interview days at UConn this past year. So with programs like UConn and UVM there honestly isn't an exact science to getting in. I honestly think there's an element of luck to it, since pretty much everyone has good experience, good grades, good interview skills, etc. With the interviews it's pretty much a toss up from there. It all depends on what they're looking for out of their GAs. There were some fresh out of undergrad students who got hired, some career changers, some with directly applicable experience. So it is honestly going to be very difficult for anyone to say whether or not you'll get in. The best we can do is say if you're a good candidate to be invited to interview.
