P.S.

Could you please narrow your question? The MA and PhD admissions websites tell you what they are looking for, generally. Think: a student who is top of the class in most classes that they take. If you want to know statistics, the graduate programs you are interested in will tell you what admitted students typically have in common: high GPA, high GRE, a solid writing sample, good letters of recommendation.... Qualities that suggest a promising student.
