看的gratcafe上的一个帖子，深深感觉到personal history statement 不该哭穷

如题...thegradcafe上一个帖子说自己只有钱申一个学校：
I live on disability, and only had the money to apply to one program for Fall 2015.
I recently got a credit card. Yay! I had been using my bank card.
This was kind of a big deal because of my limited income and bankrupcy in 2010.
If I don't get into the only program I've applied to, next application season (Fall 2016) I'll use my new credit card to apply to more than one program.
太惨了...然后，下面一堆有similar situation的人来回，比如，高中读完赚了钱来申请，但是没钱考sub的：
Similar situation here. I've spent most of the money I saved just working the first few years out of high school (+ have now hit a limit on my credit card) while completing my undergrad. I didn't take the subject GRE test because I couldn't afford it so I wasn't able to apply to any schools that required the subject test. Luckily I've been granted fee waivers at most places I applied. I ended up asking my parents to loan me money for one application (ugh, embarrassing when you're in your late 20s...) which luckily they had no problem with. I'm kind of terrified of not getting in anywhere this year because I'm not sure I can afford another application cycle unless I score an awesome job after graduation. I guess only time will tell.
正如所有前辈所言，千万不要在personal history statement里哭穷，吃不饱饭还追求学术的人一抓一大把
