<p>Well, there's nothing you can do about it at this point, either. If your numbers are correct, then 27% + 10% were either val or sal. So 63% weren't.</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry about "only" being part of that 63%.</p>
<p>You're just looking for things to worry about. Do your best, create a great application, get great recommendations, and -- as Ajay said -- fall in love with several schools. Que sera sera.</p>
