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.張灼華- i'm做，但我有很多朋友，誰仍在運行挑戰，更遑論一個姐妹三年我年輕。 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.我很高興將有更多，更好的工具，該學院在搜索的地方，由她的時間實在是運用在認真，但我知道仍然有很多系統的問題，可以理順。 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.它的相當強硬的工作的所有細節，此獎學金和最後myusearch來一直幫助，這是真正的偉大。
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，大部分的建議，我要在這裡對我的博客和其他論壇上導致的結果不僅是更好地為學生，但更好地為學校太… …我認為這是相當容易出售。 Hopefully we’ll get some really good data in all these entries to help bolster my arguments.我希望我們將得到一些真正好的數據，在所有這些作品，以助提升我的論據。

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-我想獎學金，以向所有人開放，它更可能將已，但此舉的動機，主要是限制的申請數目，以更易於管理的水平，因為它是還不清楚將有多少項目會有。 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.訂定的收入水平，以十萬或更少，使約85 ％的美國家庭，才符合資格，所以我認為這是沒有這樣一個壞的折衷辦法。 (US census data, 2006 （美國人口普查數據， 2006年 http://pubdb3.census.gov/macro/032007/hhinc/new06_000.htm ) ）
