Hi,
Thanks for your post. While it is exciting that you got a call from Wharton, I ask that you try not to read too much into it. They basically get a list of GMAT scores and make calls to those who fall in their range in order to drum up interest in the program. This phone call, while flattering does not put you at an advantage for admission to the program.
I strongly encourage you to do some deep thinking about your MBA and what you are trying to gain from the experience. Are you looking to make a career change? Or are you looking to stay at the same company or in the same industry? There is a reason you chose to apply to Chicago's program and it sounds like this phone call has you second guessing your decision. Would you be reconsidering your decision if you didn't get a call from Wharton?
Right now I think the best thing for you to do is give some thought to the above questions I posed and decide what is right for you. Once you figure that out you'll know what to do next (meaning stay put, retake the GMAT and shoot for full time, etc.) Do know that making the switch from part time to full time can raise some red flags with adcom members who questions your motives and goals and as such it can be a difficult transition to make.
Regards,
Stacey
