Hi. Congrats on your admits and thanks for posting the questions! You have multiple topics/questions here:
1. How to use LinkedIn best (this includes using it actively and also creating an appealing profile, which is using it passively)
2. How to Network in general
Linked In Has a few guides/help sections/areas that they publish and offer - here is one:
https://university.linkedin.com/content ... nkedIn.pdfhere is a guide for dummies:
https://www.hws.edu/academics/career/pd ... _guide.pdfHere is a set of Podcasts:

LinkedIn for Dummies - I love the Dummies series since they are super easy to read
https://smile.amazon.com/LinkedIn-Dummi ... 119251133/ and also consider optimizing your LinkedIn profile and leveraging it - there is a number of books/pieces about it.
You definitely should explore all you can find online and on Amazon. Also your BSchool's Career Services should be able to help with providing.
In Terms of networking in general, i don't have a really good recommendation. Anyone found any book or guide?
