Honestly, I’m all for being honest with colleges, but I’m really not sure if it’s any of their business. You’re admitted (which I believe is only conditional on your end of year grades), and you didn’t do anything that will make you pose a danger to people at WashU. I don’t think the DUI is really relevant, to be quite honest.

It may sound silly, but I would suggest calling and pressing them on whether it would matter WITHOUT telling them who you are (or better, have a parent call anonymously). When they don’t have your name, you can be a lot pushier and really see what they will find out and how they’ll deal with it. There’s no reason to throw yourself on the ground crying at their feet before you know what you’re dealing with.
