How to leverage senior connections in SA recruiting

Sophomore at a US semi-target, recruiting for IB SA 2027 roles. Currently, I have three MD/Group head connections at BB's:
1) Went to my boarding school - cold emailed and had a call in the summer
2) College Alum - cold emailed and had a call in the summer
3) Came to campus multiple times, I had brief interactions with him and opened an email dialogue with a quick thank you note

How should I approach leveraging these connections now and/or when the apps drop? Any feedback is super appreciated
