At a top BB in a group that gets good placements but haven’t been reached out to by HH other than Gold Coast. Just wondering how much of a factor school plays when PE firms look for new associates. Is this normal for PE?

Pretty normal for PE
Reach out to HHs directly (look up names on websites then send emails using standard email format for each firm). This way you can be sure that you've done all you can and are at least on their radar
