Always a good idea to wait until you actually meet the guidelines before submitting your request. :)

Assuming the wiki is eligible for adoption (no admins have edited in the last 60 days), and if you think the user who submitted the existing request meets the guidelines, I would encourage you to reach out to the user and let him/her know that you are also interested in becoming an admin. I say this because, if that request is approved, then that user becomes a bureaucrat and admin, of course. This means that the wiki immediately becomes ineligible for adoption, because there is an active bureaucrat/admin. But if you've already contacted the user, I would hope that this new bureaucrat would be willing to give you admin rights.
