Rising Soph boutta coffee chat

Hey! Rising soph at a target looking to coffee chat when I return to school in a couple weeks for IB

Had two questions:

1. Did you start off sending alumni emails to your top choice banks? I feel like, given my lack of experience in coffee chatting, starting with my top choices feels risky, but at the same time, establishing early communication with them may position me better from a networking standpoint??? not sure tho

2. Does anyone have a "sweet spot" of number of alumni emails sent out per week to balance volume of networking and also not coming off as too much? i was thinking to start off with a few emails sent to a specific group within the firm per week, depending on if I get a response if any?

Thanks a lot in advance!!
