Yes, I would most definitely like to live in Texas

Hey Everyone, I'm a Geology GIS double major at a large state school in New York. I'll be applying to Masters programs next fall for and I'm not really what level of school I should be applying to. I'd like to be able to go into O&G exploration and plan on applying to programs looking to study 'sedimentary/petroleum basin analysis' (Is 'basin analysis' to vague?) GPA: 3.5 Degree: B.S. Geology, B.A. GIS Coursework: Geomorph, Mineralogy, Earth History, Petrology, Structure, Sed/Strat, Basin Analysis, Geochem, Climatology, MATLAB modeling, Programming in Python, many GIS classes (somewhat weak performance in chem/physics B-'s and C+'s) Research: ~a year of research + summer research (paleogeographic reconstructions of the Arctic based on sandstone quality) GRE: ill be taking a practice test this week Type of Student: American Male (Hispanic) <- Im assuming that could help?? I figure that I probably don't have the credentials to apply to top tier schools All of these schools have at least one or two professors that I'd be able to contact based on my interests. Does anyone have any insight on any of these schools? Do they seem like reasonable choices? Also, when should I begin contacting POI's, in the beginning of the summer? Thanks for your time
