Am I being too picky, especially now?

I would tread lightly there. Networking is a valuable thing, especially with fellow alumni, but it's a super-competitive job market right now. They hold the same position that you are going for. You never know if they will perceive you as a threat to their personal ambitions within the company. Just my opinion.

I'd certainly like to hear what others around here think about this question.
