Currently WashU is my super-reach school. It seems like it would be an awesome place for me, but I don't think I have much of a shot of getting in.

Stats:

ACT - 30 (taking again in sep. and expect a 31/32. WashU superscores, right?)
GPA - 3.75 UW with a handful of honors and AP classes
Rank - School doesn't rank. It's a very competitive private.

I have some unique EC's and some generic ones, but nothing TOO amazing.

My essays and recs should be very good though.

So I guess my question is, what can i do to show that I really want to go here? Do they place a lot of importance on campus visits and interviews? I know some schools do and some don't. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
