oh god latias93, you taking geology also?! welcome my fellow rock specialist... I applied to A&M as well... but dont know my chance of transferring into spring 2015. My gpa is 3.54 but done in a college ADP back in Malaysia.

Yup, Houston is definitely the mecca of the energy industry here in the Western hemisphere. My dad's here, in the oil and gas industry. So is my aunt, who lives a mile away from our house. I've met a Malaysian girl who's also working in the oil and gas industry here. And I found out that a Malaysian Boilermaker I met earlier this year at the Malaysian Midwest Games at IUB lived in Houston up until recently, as his mother was working in, you guessed it, the oil and gas industry.
