Cold emailing difficulties in S&T

Hi all, I'm currently an incoming Masters student at a top target and a semitarget (UStop 20) recent graduate. I've been trying to cold email S&T alumni at both schools but have been largely unsuccessful. I've only been able to set up calls with around 2/20. After finding them on linkedin, I send an email quickly introducing myself and ask to set up a quick call for questions. Does anyone have any advice on how to network better? In addition, does anyone have any advice on following up with your new connections? Thanks
