My son (currently a freshman) just did the local alum interview, applied regular admission, and got into Dietrich. After acceptance he visited overnight, and they subsequently raised his merit offer. So, certainly doing the interview is enough for some. He did answer the optional essay question on the application about what he learned from his interview.

For Theatre I think you would need an audition – so in that case you may need to fly in. But, I am not particularly knowledgeable about that process.

Note that if you do get a chance to visit and you are applying to Dietrich, make appointments with the department you plan to work with. The professors appear to be very accessible to prospective students.
