I may not be from the US, but I have had the pleasure of living in DC for some years. The things I can think of that might be relevant to your question are:
- It is an impressive town, with numerous monuments, museums, and state buildings. Architecturally it is very varied and I think it really stands out, with buildings like the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol, the White House, the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, the Pentagon etc.
- It is the centre of US politics. The Senate and House of Representatives meet in the Capitol.
- There are many very important museums and memorials such as the Smithsonian, National Art Gallery, Vietnam Memorial etc.
For more facts and figures check out the wikipedia article.
In many ways one could regard DC as the heart of the US. It is one of the most important sites from a political, historical and cultural point of view.
To get picked I would try to explain why you would consider it important to go on this trip. Apart from cold facts regarding buildings and politics, I think the key would be to explain how the experience might affect you as a person, and to describe why this journey might be educational.
