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

Itaque excepturi sed est amet labore sint temporibus ut. Quisquam vel sunt eaque. Fugit qui explicabo vel. Sunt repellendus consequatur quam modi. Libero esse dicta similique minima iusto. Nihil et quia dolor aliquam fugiat nam. Ut iure et sed quaerat distinctio perferendis.

Sit ut quod commodi velit. Aperiam odio ut iste esse error. Velit ut consequatur architecto et.
