Talking to admissions officer a good idea?

I’ve been thinking of talking to the admissions officer one on one about certain things on my application i’d like him to know. The reason being is that one of the essay prompts that the school provides is if there is something on your application that you would like them to know about, then feel free to write about it. Personally I feel it’s a trap to ‘write’ about it per say, and I feel it would be a lot better to just talk to him on a personal level about it. The only problem I have is if this makes me look too desperate, or would it make me look like I care enough about my application? I’ve heard mixed answers, such as admissions officers enjoying talking to students, up to admissions officers absolutely hating talking to students. Virginia Tech is the school i’m applying to if it matters. Thanks.
