Directly from the Washington University Undergraduate Admissions Website FAQ Page:

** Do I have a better chance of being admitted if I visit campus? **

When reviewing your application, we will look for signs of interest in Washington University. So a visit to campus is one way to let us know that you are really interested in Washington U. A campus visit is also one of the best ways to see what a great community we have here, and it can help you make your decision if you are offered admission. We do realize, of course, that many students are unable to visit until the end of their senior year of high school. Applicants to Washington University who have not yet visited are given full consideration. *

In other words, showing interest is important, but it can only help you (meaning that not visiting won’t hurt you.)
