Honestly, MBA schools and undergrad schools are usually completely separate, so I don’t think it’ll hold weight. Wouldn’t discourage you from trying though - cold outreach is a numbers game!
But make sure the message is tailored and sincere. I’ll respond to every dm that isn’t generic and shows they’ve done their homework first. Unfortunately that’s not the majority of them.
Depends on the context probably. But when I was at Wharton I thought it was sus when undergrads reached out to me to learn about consulting at McK with no other common thread than the school - like McK hires tons of Wharton undergrads and has a strong OCR presence, why are you reaching out cold to me for basic info instead of one of your classmates who did an internship/got an FT offer, or recruiting?
But if I had a more unique career path they wanted to learn about or the person had a specific reason to reach out to me, I would’ve been much more amenable
I’m and MBA and receptive to all connections. I think it shows initiative to try and progress.
There’s plenty of uchicago alums at most firms — why not just find undergrad alums?
