Thank you @JPrun for such an insightful reply! You're right, I should be more specific about the literature and how the ideas relate to my own work. I read literature around that topic but did not specifically mention which one I read and found especially interesting. I made several ppt slides illustrating my research ideas that I thought were addressing the current research gaps. But I did not illustrate how these ideas connects to my research experience or interests (i.e., my current projects were not quite related to that topic). I did not mention anything about my interests for joining that school but instead only focused on the ideas and asked for her opinions on that. I don't know whether mentioning having a strong interest for joining the school and collaborate with the faculty helps aha, but maybe this will make them more interested in replying the emails?

Hey @JPrun! How's it going with your contacting with faculty? I used the same strategy to contact someone at my dream school, but she never replied that email lol.

Hey guys, Micro OB applicant here. I applied to ten programs, 6 in the US, 1 in Canada, 1 in UK, 1 in Singapore and 1 in Singapore/France. Top dream schools are INSEAD, Columbia, Harvard, and Stanford. Safer options include Singapore Management University. Bachelor of management from a top 10 university in China (I guess from the same school as @ScottJW), and currently a MPhil from the same school. Three working papers, two of them are in English and were presented at AOM. A China National Scholarship. LoR from faculties I have been working with, one from an internationally famous school, and two from top Chinese universities.
