Networking as a 1st year analyst

For anyone who has sent cold emails as a first year IB analyst, what was your response rate for non alumni? I’m working on the West Coast, but I went to a non target out of state school, so there are no alumni to reach out to. So far over the past 2-3 weeks, I've sent out over 100 emails and haven't received any responses. When I was an undergrad, I had much better success than I'm having so far.
