For undergrads I would highly recommend getting into a combined BS/MS program if you can. Depending on how many credits you have when you start you may be able to do it in 4 years (maybe plus a summer).

It was a great experience for me. I got a publication on my resume, a chance to see what academia is all about, and decided it wasn't for me - then I graduated with a Master's and went to work in industry.
