Bachelors at target, MS at non-target for Strategy

Hi All,

First post on here after reading for a while.

So I obtained my BS from a top public target a few years back and had a quick question. I decided to go back and get an MS in engineering and will be graduating soon. While the school is great and well known for engineering, it is not a target for strategy firms it seems. There are some good names here for Tech consulting, but I am not 100% sure if that is what I want to do just yet. I am just trying to find as many open doors as possible.

So, is it possible to reach out to those recruiters for my old school, or has that ship sailed? Thanks for any insights.
