Any comments, feelings, advice to share? : Focus on your career objectives, and *then* decide if doing a masters makes sense. That sense of direction will help you target the right universities and make your application stronger. 'Doing a Masters' should not be an end goal - but rather a step in the direction you want to take.
Also this might seem obvious, but please research the hell out of the university you're targeting. Network with students, alumni, professors, recruiters. Again, this will show in your applications and more importantly, help you make right, focused efforts.
