I have been trying to cold email people and it's just not working out and the conclusion I've derived is maybe the subject of the email being"networking" is a turn off. But having said that what else should it be if I'm not mailing an alumni in which case it would be networking with alumni which doesn't really help my case either. Greatly appreciate everyone who reads and gives their inputs.

advice 1- creep on linkedin and join a club that the said person is involved in, and use that as subject line (i.e., Healthcare Investment Club Member Seeking Advice)
advice 2- "current undergraduate student seeking advice"
advice 3- never use networking as subject line again
perhaps change the subject of the email to the name of your school
would also recommend asking professors and / or career services for names + intros
You really put the subject of your emails as "networking"? That's an... interesting... choice.
I used "ABC University student reaching out" or something like that. Specific enough so they stop to read it but still general enough that they want to open it to see what it's about.
