know specifics about the institution- the requirements, your program of interest, why it is a good fit for you, maybe there’s a specific study abroad program, hell even specific profs- you get the idea
If you are going to be in the area, then get an interview-
obviously lots of kids don’t have the opportunity for an on campus interview and that is why they are optional. But when it comes down to you and a kid with a similar profile, the student who made the greater effort is going to get the acceptance letter. It doesn’t matter if they want you- they want to know that you want WashU.
