"Indirectly" asking for a referral

I know referrals aren't much of a helpful tool, as it can only get me to the interview and thats about it. But I feel like I need all the help I can get. I've been having calls with consultants from the company I'm hoping to get in (MBB firm) but haven't had the guts to say anything remotely related to asking for a referral. Tomorrow I have a call with a consultant with pretty high seniority, highest I've managed to connect with so far. He's from my school btw.

Is it a good idea to make hints at a referral?

If so, how do I approach it indirectly?
