Definitely OK to introduce yourself at in-person events (admissions roadshows, campus events, etc). But I myself would caution against random LinkedIn outreach or email unless you have already met in person.

No etiquette. I went to Tuck, for example, and they welcome folks just cold calling the MBA office.
