Hey VARN2016. I'm also starting this Fall, and I'd be happy to share (it's something I always like seeing to know how I need to prepare):

-BSN from academically competitive university

-GPA 3.9

-2 years MICU experience

-CCRN (and BLS/ACLS/PALS prior to applying)

-Lots of committee work

-GRE 311 (for what it's worth...)

This, of course, is not a perfect combination. I worried for a while that 2 years experience wouldn't be enough, but I feel confident in my experience and I think my interview went pretty well. I can only speak for myself, but I know that there are many people more qualified than me that were accepted and some that were not.

The most important piece to the puzzle is how well you and the school mesh. If you are dead-set on a particular program, let them know. That really can make a huge difference.

Hope that helps and good luck on applications!!
