Contacting Professors at Admitted School, without officially accepting offer

[lifetimestudent]

I've been accepted to a great prestigious program, and plan to attend a visiting day in a couple of weeks. I want to contact some professors with whom I haven't been in touch previously so that I can make sure to meet them and get to know them while I am visiting. However, I haven't officially accepted the offer, and I don't want to make it seem like I am. What's the best way to go about doing this?

[OH YEAH]

It's not a concern. Just e-mail them

What's the right term to describe myself? Admitted phd student? I feel like if I say I am a phd student it sounds like I've already accepted the offer.

You could also contact the person who is arranging your visit and let them know that you would really like to speak with professors X, Y, and Z, if they are available. While email is nice, I highly recommend a face-to-face meeting. If not face-to-face, then phone.
