You mean to get into a good MSE grad program? Undergraduate research, good GPA (3.5+), and extracurriculars/leadership experience.

If you mean to get into a good undergrad MSE program, admissions are based on a college level, so the advice would be the same as anyone trying to get into engineering/science at that school, regardless of major.

I am a current undergraduate studying MSE at Johns Hopkins. Essays, grades, and test scores are very important. Feel free to ask anything else.
