Early Recruiting for IBD (Nat Resources/O&G) in Houston, TX

Quick question for anyone out there (I am new to WSO) about recruiting for Houston banks. 

I just found out I got into CBS ED and want to recruit for IBD in Houston (for Natural Resources/O&G). I am a female transitioning from working at a Supermajor/OFS/Upstream as an engineer. I did not know about early recruiting until this week when I spoke to an admissions fellow at CBS. 

I had two questions about this:

1) What is the timeline for early recruiting? Based on posts from this summer it looks like it takes place prior to school starting and is fully self-guided, is this generally correct? Also is there any list of banks that do MBA diversity recruiting currently (most of the lists I found seem to be dated)

2) If you strike out in early recruiting, will this affect your chances at normal recruiting during that fall semester of MBA? 

 

I am currently in the same boat as you (currently in the energy industry, looking to move to IB). I have seen that IBD in different BB, EB, and MM banks open up randomly and there seems to not be a set time frame, especially with the current oil prices and head-counts for banks being adjusted constantly (in regards to Energy groups at least). Also just curious, how many years were you in industry before moving to grad school?
