5 5Alexa–I’m done, but I have lots of friends who are still running the gauntlet, not to mention a sister 3 years my younger.张灼华- i'm做，但我有很多朋友，谁仍在运行挑战，更遑论一个姐妹三年我年轻。 I’m glad that there will be more, better tools for the college search in place by the time she is really applying in earnest, but I know there are still many systematic problems that could be ironed out.我很高兴将有更多，更好的工具，该学院在搜索的地方，由她的时间实在是运用在认真，但我知道仍然有很多系统的问题，可以理顺。 It’s been pretty tough working out all the details for this scholarship and finally MyUsearch came along to help out, which is really great.它的相当强硬的工作的所有细节，此奖学金和最后myusearch来一直帮助，这是真正的伟大。
The best part is that most of the suggestions I make here on my blog and in other forums lead to an outcome which is not just better for students, but better for schools too… I think it’sa pretty easy sell.最好的部分是，大部分的建议，我要在这里对我的博客和其他论坛上导致的结果不仅是更好地为学生，但更好地为学校太… …我认为这是相当容易出售。 Hopefully we’ll get some really good data in all these entries to help bolster my arguments.我希望我们将得到一些真正好的数据，在所有这些作品，以助提升我的论据。

7 7Larry - I had wanted the scholarship to be open to all, and it more likely would have been, but this move was motivated largely to limit the number of applications to a more manageable level because it was unclear how many entries there would be.拉里-我想奖学金，以向所有人开放，它更可能将已，但此举的动机，主要是限制的申请数目，以更易于管理的水平，因为它是还不清楚将有多少项目会有。 Setting the income level to 100,000 or less allows about 85% of US households to be eligible, so I think that’s not such a bad compromise.订定的收入水平，以十万或更少，使约85 ％的美国家庭，才符合资格，所以我认为这是没有这样一个坏的折衷办法。 (US census data, 2006 （美国人口普查数据， 2006年 http://pubdb3.census.gov/macro/032007/hhinc/new06_000.htm ) ）
