No, I targeted professors at the absolute best schools possible, because I was considering a career in academia at the time and you can't get a tenure-track job with a second-tier Ph.D.
I got accepted at every school I applied to, but my application itself was pretty strong, so it's hard to say if the outreach 'worked' vs. another aspect of the application.
