MS Engineering. Odds?

I am currently in the process of applying for the U of Mn ME grad program. I am wondering if anyone has experience applying to this school or a similar school and what there experience was. I have looked online at there requirements and meet them all but I know that this in not enough. I am in the process of finishing my B.S.M.E and have a 3.11 GPA and a 1230 on the GRE (740 Q 490 V). I also have about a year worth of paid research experience and worked last summer on an NSF funded research project. As a result of the research that I have done I am acknowledged on a state report for some of my work. Do my credentials give me a good chance of getting into a school such as this?

I have seen this. I guess I am more looking for someone who has applied with similar credentials. I also have a lot of leadership experience which may help as well
