Too late to show interest?

Hi everybody

I’ve recently moved from Switzerland to Denver, Colorado and now I’m applying to U.S. colleges.
Unfortunately, I haven’t heard about Tulane University until a few weeks ago, and now, TU is my absolute dream school.

I’ve done a lot of research and I noticed that TU emphasizes when students show interest.
On September 30th TU hosts a reception in Denver. So my question is, should I attend the reception? Or am I anyways too late for the school to show genuine interest?

Moreover, my main concern is that my strong accent will be at my disadvantage if I talk to somebody from TU. (I don’t have any problems with academic English writing, listening or anything at all, which my test scores prove. It’s just my accent which may make me seem not competitive enough.) So what would you advise?
