I know a ton of folks from my masters program in civ at UIUC came directly from undergrad there. Talk to your profs and see whether or not they think you’ve got a good chance of getting in, or whether they would recommend that you apply to a few other programs as well. It also kind of depends upon what you want to study and who you want to study with, because grad degrees are more about matching well with your advisor and what research they’re doing.
