In most cases, it is easier to apply to one’s undergraduate institution . (There are of course exceptions) Some of the professors already know who you are, since you probably already had classes with many of them. They would also know your capabilities and work ethics. Provide you are a competent student, those factors will work for you.

As for research, any research is better than no research. I particpated in research as an undergrad for a ME professor, and I’m ECE. So if you have a research opportunity, I’d say go for it.

Lastly, why are you so deathly afraid of GRE? It is not a difficult test. Do some review and get a good score, it will help leverage your GPA.
