Graduated without a full time offer

Hi guys I'm on the west coast, recently graduated from a non-target with a small alumni base in investment banking. I have a private equity and investment banking internship both boutique shops where I got a bit of experience to put on my resume. the response rate especially lows around 1/30. I was wondering what is like for folks out there. 

reach out message is along the lines of 

"my name is xxx from with a degree in xxxx from this uni. I'm reaching out to introduce myself and want to discuss my qualification with you regarding an analyst position at your firm. you have a great background in this field and would like to connect."

I don't know if you because of the hiring freeze, economy, or other areas I maybe trashing myself. I would be happy to learn about the current climate of recruiting for one looking and have already graduated. 

Thanks, guys
