Worth it to reach out?

Hi all. I am getting started on outreach for recruiting for summer 2025. I go to a non target west coast private school (lmu, pepperdine, Santa Clara). There are a few people on linkedin from my school at MM's and west- coast BB that I've started reaching out to.

I ultimately want to end up in New York. I know some people from high school and stuff that are at top BB's and other UMM in NY, but they basically all went to ivies and targets. Is it worth even trying to connect and recruit with them or should I not even waste my time? There are no alums from my school their.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Yes any reason to reach out works. Probably too early rn. Imo high school connect to in more meaningful, they responded more
