Top law schools care about LSAT scores, grades, and, to a lesser extent, ‘soft’ factors such as work experience and leadership skills. Expressing interest is demonstrated by applying and nothing more is necessary. Some schools follow up the applications with a phone interview. Northwestern requires a face to face interview prior to admission. Others may, too. In general, though, making a visit before being accepted is a waste of time. Once accepted, by all means go at their invitation. At that point, they’ll be begging you, not the other way around.
