I Want To Go To Harvard Graduate School, Am I A Competitive Applicant?

I just took the MAT (Miller Analogies Test) & received a scaled score of 411. I would like to get my Master’s in Education at Harvard, but couldn’t find their minimum MAT scores. I think I’m in the high 70th or 80th percentile with that score in my fields (music/education).
I graduated from Boston University with a double major in Education & Classical piano performance. My college G.P.A was 3.49/4.00 & I was awarded several prestigious awards by BU for my work with arts in education (especially urban education). I’m an African-American woman from a low-income family. Some of my awards/activities include:
The Horatio Alger National Scholarship
The Horatio Alger Alumni Association
The Presser Grant (awarded to only one student in the College of Fine Arts)
The Claflin Academic Grant
The National Youth Leadership Forum Alumni Association
The Boston University Music Grant
Offered a job by the National Youth Leadership Forum on Law & CSI as an advisor(I will be working for them next summer). (This is relevant because I’m interested in education law.)
Boston University Full Tuition Grant
Director of a low-income educational summer camp for students in my city.
Do you think I have a shot?
Is there anything I could do to improve my resume?
